Bird id ?

Hi All,

  Just got back from West Coast of Scotland, near Oban.  These birds were flitting about the cottage we stayed in.
From my bird book the first looks like a wheatear but it would be nice to have confirmation. The breast doesn't look the right colour but the stripe across the eye made it look like one to me. And is the second a female or young wheatear ?

Thanks.

Top is a Adult male Wheatear, bottom is not a female.

looks quite small. If that is a Weatear also it would be a juvenile.

Thanks Martin.  First time I've ever seen one ! Looking through binoculars the second one did look similar and has a slight stripe across the eye, so may be a young one.
