Bird id please

[warehouseman56]

Hi,
Max found it, I was shooting at butterflies. His nose gives it a sense of scale.
I think it is a green woodpecker because I had seen an adult bird here three times earlier and drawn the wrong conclusions, then we found this little fellow.

I had to move him to one side because there was a car coming down the track, mine.
I went, quitely, back an hour later and several times the next day but never saw the chick or adult again.

Can anyone confirm the id? How old do you reckon he was and did he have any chance of suvival. It's Fox world out there.
Lovely to see him but not, if you know what I mean.

Chicks are not easy to ID, but I'm confident it's not Green Woodpecker- the feet + bill are wrong. Woodpeckers have 2 forward pointing toes + 2 back.

I'm wondering whether it might be a Skylark chick; bill shape looks right + strong looking feet suggest a bird that spends considerable time on the ground.

It could be some type of warbler. I don't know whether it would be too early for them to be developing these markings, but there is a hint of a chesnut cap so could be a Blackcap.
