This little chap stayed long enough for three shots two were almost the same so have uploaded front and side. It doesn't look a bit like the meadow Pipit I captured previously but I'm no expert and birds seam to change colour with the seasons.

Need to read up a little more on Pipits, this is one I saw in my friend's back garden, managed to press the button before the camera focused properly.

I think that both yours and mine are Meadow Pipits, the lower flanks streaks seem to maintain their width.

That looks like the meadow Pipit Rolf
Looking at the others I have uploaded which in my book don't look like any of them it has to be a meadow Pipit my RSPB book shows the meadow Pipit much darker and I am fastly going off the book It doesn't seam to show any of the correct colours. I have a feeling this is the female Meadow Pipit. It is much more chubbyer but has the same markings.
Look at the pale marking round the eye

Oh good. I'm glad about that

I believe what you have here is a female or more probably, a juvenile stonechat. The head markings and rusty coloured breast in your first picture certainly point to this plus the head shape in the second makes me 99.9% sure.

Yes the first post is a female Stonechat. I didn't realize at the time. Sorry about that
