Pipit ID Please
Observed this Pipit today on the banks of the Dal Lake in Kashmir. Lack of markings on the breast is confusing.
http://www.kashmirnetwork.com/birds/.../unknown24.jpg ID Help please. Thanks. BTW : The pipits expected in Kashmir according to "Birds of North India" by Grimmettt & Inskipp would be: Paddyfield Pipit Long-billed Pipit Upland Pipit Tree Pipit Olive-backed Pipit Red-throated Pipit Rosy Pipit Water Pipit |

Looks a bit freaky on my monitor too Tim! I'm not familiar with all the pipits out that way but it looks reminiscent of a Water Pipit. It seems rather streaky on the mantle though, so perhaps not.

Actually its not a very clean image so I had to enhance it a bit. I may have some more images on another camera which I'll post soon.

We can certainly rule out paddyfield, long-billed, tree, red-throated and olive-backed....
don't know what rosy and upland look like however, so can't help any further |
