Bunting ID

I was uncertain about this at first - it didn't look rustic (red-brown) enough on the flanks and the throat pattern seemed too well-defined.

But after looking more closely, I think the red-brown marks on the nape and coverts seen on photos 2 and 3 are distinctive of Rustic, as well as some points mentioned above. But maybe a first-winter male - the head pattern looks fairly dark to me.

I hope I'm not wrong. It would be 300 for Po Toi, and well worth a lunch at the restaurant.
