Taken on PT in Mar 9. Is it a Stejneger’s stonechat?

It looks like a stonechat, should be Stejneger's.

I asked about extra photos because when I first looked I thought it looked large and bulky, and had a plumage pattern that reminded me of Hodgson's Bushchat. Looking again I think it is just a Stejneger's Stonechat, although the plumage pattern seems odd for this time of year.

Thanks John & thebirdguy! I raised the ID request also because of its plumage pattern seems not familiar with those stonechats I see in LV or MP
