Looks like ssp. mariscolore: http://internt.nhm.ac.uk/jdsml/research ... BER=501372 or maybe this sub species: http://internt.nhm.ac.uk/jdsml/research ... BER=501318
Does that help?

mariscolore is only found in Ireland (possibly Scotland).
I think this *is* an aberration of a highly-variable species. And there are lots of abs. to choose from, such as:

Nice shot!
