Another Ireland bird (1 Viewer)

This bird was seen at the Kerry Cliffs on May 13th. After snapping this one shot the bird straight flew up and then down to the ground.
I was not sure if it is a Meadow Pipit or a Skylark?
It looks a little different than the bird I saw at the Cliffs of Moher on my other post.
Thanks for any help.

I don't remember what you saw at those other scary cliffs, but, if it was a skylark, this one's different because it's a meadow pipit - doing what breeding meadow pipits do. We can tell it's not a tree pipit because they don't breed in Ireland, and not a rock pipit because the chest-streaking is too fine and crisp.
