This is a wild guess. (Only because I can't see what else it could be).

This bird was kind enough to show all sides except for the tail.

Hi Leon,

I'm pretty sure this is a Spikeheeled Lark Chersomanes albofasciata. It looks the wrong shape for a pipit.

Another vote for Chersomanes albofasciata. The upright stance is rather distinct, though of course not usefull for ID without other features. Anyway, everything seems to fit...
