Looks like an Olive-backed Pipit to me.

The flank streaks look too thin and less well defined for OBP also the head pattern/supercillium is rather undefined too.I think it`s a Tree Pipit.

I agree with snovcap.

Back is IMO to streaked for OBP but i do understand that it´s easy to confuse some TP with OBP esp. those with such a strong supercill. etc

Of course! Didn't realise that Tree Pipits could be found there too. I agree with you both.

Actually, there should not be any confusion with a pipit looking like this. Just me being to quick and not keeping ranges in mind. :-C
