Male northern wheatear, photo by Andreas Trepte - Own work, CC BY-SA 2.5 Source: WIKIPEDIA Wikimedia Steinschmaetzer_Northern_wheatear_male.jpg
Here a rare picture, by Frederic Peisy from oiseaux.net, showing the famous black T-pattern on its tail and the grey-black wing pattern I used to identify them on Muottas Muragl. Source: OTHER oiseaux.net - Northern wheater typical black T-pattern on tail.jpg
    It has an evil-looking black eye stripe like the shrike. (I liked Nici Baiker's description of it in the FOK field ornithology course as 'Zorro look'.) I saw one flying on Muottas Muragl and thought the striking gray oval surrounded by dark feathers has to be typical and seems unique to the northern wheatear.
