What Is The Difference Between A Stonechat And A Whinchat?

The whinchat is often paler than the comparable stonechat, and it has a characteristic eyestripe that is also pale, as well as a light neck. While males have streaks of brown on their upper bodies and an orange breast, females are much lighter. The bases of the tails of Whinchats and Stonechats are visually differentiated by the presence of lighter patches on the former.
