Meadow or tree? First saw in a tree then hopped down onto the ground.

Agree with Tree Pipit, reasons for this:
  • smooth clean colours, lacking, olive and dirty hues
  • stout bill with extensive pinkish base
  • flank streaking could be finer, but your bird is within variation.
  • hind-claw is short and straight- your bird is ID-friendly in this

Please compare to this smooth and warm coloured Meadow Pipit, an autumn bird: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmVAMppN (03.10.2020, Ziesar, NE-Germany)
