Hi everyone,
who can help me identify this bird?
Size a bit bigger than a house sparrow; photo taken on 19/03/21 in the afternoon in La Janda, Spain; bird was sitting quietly on a cable up high.
Thanks a lot.

It was actually a bit smaller than a house sparrow. It's a whinchat.

I say. Good point! - which does also make it a bit bigger than a house sparrow

I agree with Water Pipit, please note long hindclaw and quite long bill

Has to be a pipit with that bill - Water Pipit for me too.
