Pipit/Skylark ID please (1 Viewer)

[ddave07]

I was out this afternoon driving down a country lane. I briefly had to pull into a passing place and as I did, this Pipit/Lark appeared on a stone wall next to the car. I managed a couple of quick pics, but have been left wondering what it is?

Pics were taken on moorland in South West Scotland.

Any help and insights really appreciated

Cheers, DD

Meadow pipit - thin bill, whitish eyering, significant flank streaking. Great photos!

The thin spiky bill says pipit not lark. This is a Meadow Pipit.

Note absurd hind claw. Thus not tree pipit.
