Dear forum
Attached is a photo I took in Sri Lanka a little while ago.
I think it is a Paddyfield Pipit, but only say that because that species as I understand, is by far the most common species of pipit found in Sri Lanka.
However to get it as a definite tick I need a definite identification and wonder if anyone can advise please.
As far as I know it theoretically could be a Richard's Pipit, or a Blythe's Pipit both of which also occur in Sri Lanka at certain times of the year. Incidentally this photo was taken in the month of May.
Please - does anyone know- from looking at this photo, whether it can definitely be identified as a Paddyfield Pipit, and, can I definitely rule either or both of the latter two species out, and if so why?
Thank you
