Yes, Robin is of course right, its a nice grey, one of our loveliest endearing streamside birds.
The grey refers to the head and with the grey, nape too.
Cheers
Ken

Definitely a Grey Wagtail. Still a bit early for a Yellow Wagtail. |

Who on earth called that beautiful bird such a boring name?

Ah, didn't spot faz's smileys 
Yes, the name doesn't do it justice for such a beautiful bird, how about the 'every cloud wagtail' ?
