oh eck! Its certainly NOT a Lesser Whitethroat Shearwater! They have black/dark grey legs for starters and don't have brown tinges to tertials, nor a red orbital ring!.... juvenile LW have a dark iris not pale as in the pic although some can have slightly brownier paler legs although not
this orange pale, but April is far too early for a juvenile anyway, the adults are just arriving then!

It's too grey for a female Common Whitethroat and tertials/covs don't appear rusty enough for a male Common Whitethroat but perhaps it is a male C.Whitethroat with conjunctivitus and having a pale wing kinda day
WHERE did you take the photograph? I might be convinced of a 1w male moulting into adult if you have one of it looking like it hasn't just come through the car wash
