Identification please......

My post is a little different this week as I am after an identification. I thought this was a redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus), but friends think it is a Chiffchaff ( Phylloscopus collybita ).  I would like it to be the latter as if so it is my first ever seen, not only at home but anywhere.

Photos are not brilliant as they were taken through the window but I think they are probably good enough for an identification.

 Ok so now we know thanks to some great followers - it is a Chiffchaff.  Thanks everyone.













 Thanks in advance for whatever comments I receive.

    I do hope it is the bird you want it to be! I can't help in I'D tho, because neither is in USA. Good luck!

    Thanks for linking in! Your friendship & loyalty to our world's birds are very much appreciated.

    Hooray, I see that you git the ID help you needed from other wonderful bird bloggers ... he is an adorable little bird and it is exciting to get a first timer and at your own feeder even better. Congrats!

      Hi Hilary, yes I also love the bird bath, 😊 the birds seem to enjoy it and it is a much better use for an ashtray! Hope all is well, stay safe, Diane
