Field Notes

Description:

Some pipit maybe?

Notes:

Was always seen moving very fast in the grass, fields and mostly open space.
PS: The three pics were taken at different locations on same ground. So they are not of same bird.

Thank you Leuba! Yeah Atul, I too confused regarding that.. and the more I think, the more I am confused, so lets go with saber. Meantime I will try to get more and more pics of these birds, many times I neglected them as I have already spotted them.
also not many spotted at the back !
no it's the tawny, as u can see, for the pipit, u must to see, the bill, and the colour of leggs, this one leggs are more yellow than other, also mustache are well drawning ! :)
