[QUOTE="CAU, post: 1286025, member: 55324"] I agree that the head markings don't look too good for Olive-backed Pipit, but on the other hand, they're difficult to assess from just this photo (things like white balance etc. come into play). After looking again at the picture, I lean more towards Tree Pipit now, but a second photo could indeed be helpful. Regarding the breast streaking, there's some variation in Olive-backed Pipits, this individual for example has quite thin streaks: [url]http://www.kazakhstanbirdtours.com/gallery/olive-backed-pipit-kaz-2007.jpg[/url] I'm not sure either. I agree with Gerd that usually the supercilium looks longer on Hume's Warblers, but judging it from just one photo is troublesome. IMO the general bull-necked and thin-billed shape of the bird fits much better this Hume's Warbler: [url]http://www.tarsiger.com/images/Bruun/phy_hum_5498.jpg[/url] than this Greenish (Green) Warbler: [url]http://www.netfugl.dk/pictures.php?id=showpicture&picture_id=990[/url] But judging the shape from just one photo is troublesome, too.
