I had this visitor here in Dublin on Friday the 23rd and first thought grey-cheeked, but I have never seen one with so much buff in the head and especially in the throat.

There are four photos, three of which were taken through the window so are a bit soft:

P.S.: Can anyone identify this weed for me ?  I have exhausted my wildflower books and the invasive plant websites, to no avail:

Thank you for your help.
