    Pipit Udewalawe National Park in Sri Lanka November 2019

    Anyone want to have a go at identifying this Pipit taken in Udewalawe National Park in Sri Lanka in November 2019? Presumably either Paddyfield or Blyth's. And if you could indicate the plumage details that pointed to the ID that would be great. Thanks Robin

    Pipit (Anthus) Sri Lanka February 2015

    Anyone care to ID this Pipit? Must admit to de-prioritising them when there are (in my eyes) so many more charismatic things to spot. I have an idea but the more I look into the possibilities the more uncertain I become. Thanks Robin

    Looks like it might be a Guava Skipper (Phocides polybius) but the race looks different to the one that should be in Trinidad?!

    Long-tailed or Arctic Skua

    It looks like you might be right. It seems others who know much more than me are swinging in your direction.

    Long-tailed or Arctic Skua

    Thanks for that always a good idea to think outside any constraints. Would the underwing usually show the pale based under-primaries ie the double patch on underwing? And the tail looks either pointed or blunt tips but not square ended. The pale tips you mention could get worn off by November...
