Reviewing old photos, I came across this one. Is it a tawny pipit?

Thank you!

Hi. I'm going to go for a Meadow Pipit, worn Summer, maybe? very slight pale eye ring visible. A Tawny, wouldn't have much streaking to the breast, or very little.

Thank you very much, Harrybongo. I just thought it might be a juvenile Tawny Pipit, which is more streaked than the adult, at least according to my guidebook.

May I ask what is the reasoning behind this?

Streaking confined to breast, already quite broad supercilium, apparently darkish legs

May I ask what is the reasoning behind this?
