What kind of wheatear (Oenanthe) could this be? Back is too brown for a Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe), but eye stripe too dark for a Desert Wheatear (Oenanthe deserti) - ?

The back is too brown because fresh feathers. By spring, the edges on the feathers will wear out and the back will be grayish.
