    Default Water Pipit?

    Taken at LWWT. I think it is a water pipit, could be meadow pipit.

    Very difficult Joe, I'd probably go for a Meadow Pipit, as the legs are pale.

    Thanks Rolf, Just a pity it didn't hang around and the light didn't improve.

    Have to say that I've had real problems on pipit ids, wrongly identified one as water when it was meadow, because it had black legs, but only because it had been up to its knees in mud.

    The pics in some reference books are shown in idealised colours as opposed to what a photo shows.
