meadow pipit

Can't help with the ID but it's a super capture! tfs!

Hmmm.. where and when was it taken and have you any photos of its back/rump. It does have some characteristics of a first winter Red-throated Pipit - all white base colour to belly and flanks, what looks to be whitish mantle stripes, clear white edges to tertials, full thin eye ring - but I don't have enough experience of them to be sure, and Meadow pipits can look very pale and 'washed out' later in summer.

Might be worth posting on the ID forum.

It is a great capture, John.

Brilliant Detailed Image John, Tfs!!!!!!!
All The Best
Sue & Simon,

Beauty John.

You've a lovely picture there John, but I'm not too sure it is a mippit either.

The streaking just doesn't look right for one to me.

Agree with Mick, it might be an idea to link this picture in a thread in the [COLOR="Blue"]ID forum[/COLOR] and add to it any other images you might have.

Nice one in any case lad.

Smashing photograph , The bill and the legs are those of a Meadow pipit, but as Delia says you could confirm with the Id forum. Nevertheless its a fine image .
