Neither of those. I could add that it was photographed in a habitat typical for the species.

Does look like a sewage settling bed sprinkler system ( typical habitat ? ) but surely too brown, so Meadow Pipit for me.

Water it is, at Neston Sewage Farm. A slightly less terrible pic attached. It remained distant.

I'll stab a guess at a half-grown Oystercatcher chick. But could just as easily be a Herring Gull chick.
