Brabant Netherlands - Meadow Pipit this time? (1 Viewer)

Bertus · Apr 22, 2024

Today, large nature preserve, sitting at a pole quite near. I would say Meadow P. The beak is difficult, is it firm or slender? The supercilium is short, and as my guide says: the stripes on the side of the breast are equal to them in the middle of the breast. Is that correct? Size of toes I can't compare here. Tnx for help

Not sure what you mean by this, but...
Note the strong and rather long white supercilium (often obviously longer than this, reaching to the nape), underpart streaking not extending obviously to the flank, and the black-white-black mark on the lower edge of the wing (easy to ignore but very helpful).
