Cicadabird...perhaps

Silhouetted against very bright green grass, into the sun. Poor set-up, but a new bird to ID for me. I have looked everywhere, and after fiddling in RAW format, I can only guess at a immature cicada-bird. Other possibility being a young triller.

Help please?

A location might help narrow it down, Michael.

Hi Michael, I think it is a young Common Starling.

Aaah! That makes sense, thanks Sue.

They look quite different to an adult and can be deceptive.
