Pipit (Hampshire, UK) (1 Viewer)

Hello,
These are photos of a pipit, from today on shoreline of Portsmouth Harbour.
In this area there are meadow pipit and rock pipit.
Which of these have I photographed?
At first from the habitat I went for rock pipit, then I saw the pale of the legs and bill. The strong light was not great for colours, in the field it felt as though it was grey/green, but not sure from these photos.

Meadow Pipit for me

Rock Pipits for me, bright sunshine can make them look pale-legged. Poor patterned back, long bill, general face pattern, ill-defined rather broad streaking on breast and flanks...
