Obscure bunting trawl just in case

Heysham Obs

Not used to handling spring Reed Buntings, so I assume this is an aberrant female.  Bit small for a male 73mm/16.5g and whitish throated, supercilium shape & position  etc etc.  Went 'tew' on release (phew!).  Any comments via PMrsh123@aol.com, please.
