Hi
Can someone identify this for me?

Found in plains near foothills of himalaya... in Islamabad Pakistan...
It was sitting on a small bare tree and would wag its tail occasionally.

Looks like Water Pipit ssp. blakistoni, dark legs, plain back and buffish underside with rather weakly marked breast.

Roland Hi,

Could Rosy Pipit be a contender?

Cheers

Back is too plain for Rosy IMO
