Pipit - Baie de Somme (France) in May (1 Viewer)

Hi,
I am not sure about the identity of this bird. The streaking on the breast and flanks are well marked. There is a hint of orange-pinkish hue on the throat. The legs are very pale. Maybe it is simply a meadow pipit but I would like to have your opinion about this bird.
Thanks,

Certainly a good contender for Red-throated; white background to underparts, very sharp black streaks on underparts and prominent supercilium. Back streaking looks s good too even though the characteristic "tramlines" look a bit weak.
 
I posted this image because I suspected that it was a Red-throated Pipit indeed (but did not dare saying it). I am glad that this is confirmed by my peers :)
