Looks more like a lark to me. I'd say Skylark, in your region sometimes split as Japanese Skylark.

An excellent call, I did also notice that it perched much more in the horizontal than other Pipit's I've seen. We just got so caught up in a "Pipit Frenzy" (they were everywhere!) I "assumed" Pipit. Thank you very much for setting me straight!
