Lesser Whitethroat ssp?? Grønningen, Blåvand.

This interesting Lesser Whitethroat was found by Henrik Kristensen on Grønningen near Blåvand in the afternoon on 5/11. It gave a very sandybrown overall impression. The bird was seen foraging on the ground several times and flicked its tail often when seen foraging in bushes.
The bird only called once with a rattling chatter. Six birders manage to see the bird before darkness.
Please do comment on the bird.
