That doesn't have the look of an Olive-backed to me - the face pattern is wrong for a start. I don't know Rosy Pipit well at all, and what I do know is theoretical, but that does seem to be the better candidate.

It's just a Rosy Pipit as my opinion :)

Yes, I may have strung this one on the other site. I do wish I had a better view of the ear coverts.

Cheer,cuckooroller,I stand by ur side.

Dark underside of the lower mandible
Hardly a malar stripe.
Uni groundcoloured breast/belly.
No projecting primary.
These favour Rosy
But the wise its supercilium ends,the yellowish/greenish cast to the plumage and perhaps the same lower mandible as used pro Rosy, the seemingly ill streaked yellowish brown mantle and pink coloured hindclaw(?) may prevent me from a definite plea.
