Pipit ID - Cannock Chase, England. (1 Viewer)

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this a Meadow Pipit or a Tree Pipit? I have several pictures taken on the same evening which are clearly Meadow but i'm not sure about this one.

Its in a tree after all....

it looks to be a rather fluffed out meadow to me, streaking seems pretty uniform.

Hello, another vote for Meadow Pipit. Some of the streaks on the chest are melting together and form a bigger spot, which is very typical for Meadow, I think ...

Meadow for me too

I agree with Meadow, although I think the "bigger spot" is actually a part of the tree.

Where about on the Chase? If round Katin then v poss Tree as there are plenty of pairs breeding up there

Missed this one first time round. Is this really as easy and straightforward as everyone thinks? Wouldn't mind seeing a second photo myself.

Well you do get Meadow Pipits on trees sometimes:

...but I agree that for 100% ID I'd like a second pic (although I still stick with Meadow from this one).
