Cley Marshes, Norfolk, UK. Pipit, but which Pipit ? (1 Viewer)

[Dave Derrick]

Images taken on 25th April 2023. Other than Meadow Pipit, which I believe this is not, I am not at all familiar with Pipits. Help with ID please.

Thanks, Dave.

It doesn’t look dark enough for Rock Pipit (and the legs are pinkish), which of the common pipits leaves Meadow and Tree. The pattern of streaking below looks better for Tree, so that's what I'd go for.

It's a Meadow Pipit, I'm afraid. The shape, face pattern and colouration and streaking on the underparts are all fine for Meadow.

I think it's all good for Meadow too...

 

[Dave Derrick]

Thanks, as ever, to one and all. It will have to go down as a Meadow then. Cheers, Dave.

Another ID blunder on my part! Never mind…
