Анна Ясько: Мне кажется, вариант молодой каменки-плясуньи тоже может быть, крыло довольно светлое.

Анна Ясько: Так что вполне может быть хохотуньей.

Сергей Л. Волков: Я полагаю, эта птица теньковка европейского подвида. У нее бывает слабый зеленоватый оттенок. Николай указал самые нужные признаки.

Анна Ясько: Склоняюсь к варианту южной бормотушки. Верх светлый, песочный. Смущал крупный клюв, но вот здесь (фото) есть похожий экземпляр, такой же клювастый.Хотя [....]
