In flight, shows a small white patch at the base of the wing. Rarely, male Stonechats have a thin white supercilium, though never as extensive as on a Whinchat. Adult females are similar to male Stonechats, but have the black on the head and back replaced with dark brown. Juveniles are rather grey with with fine black streaking all over.
