I thought this was a Rock Pipit but some one else says it is a Meadow Pipit

I'd say Meadow, because of the lighter legs Beryl.
Lovely photo, Beryl!
I'd agree with Rolf for several reasons -
a - where it is perched (as most Rock Pipits I have seen were on the ground - or beach, as in the attachment)
b - because it is a warm colour
c - because it has a more lightly-speckled breast than a Rock Pipit
d - because of the lighter legs (as Rolf says)
e - because Rolf is usually right! ;)
Meadow Pipit it is.
Thank you For your kind comment. I took quite a few but very much the same
(Rolf is always right :thumbsup: )
Thank you for the reassurance. It is so hard to tell some times but yes the legs are very pale and give it away really.
The only place I see these are on the rocks along the estuary. I guess that is why I though it to be a Rock Pipit
LOL, now now ladies, not fair to make fun of me. ;) :)
Would we ever do that? Really, Rolf! And we were bowing in homage to the expert!:)
Most definitely
