Brain moved into a higher gear this morning and thought that maybe there was a thrushy bird called a redstart as well as one called a redwing. The redstart featured by RSPB looks more like what I can now remember of what I saw and they also have Epsom on the eastern fringe of its summer range. Moreover, I have now found the bit of the RSPB site which does birds by family rather than by species - which had I found it yesterday might have prevented this confusion.
