Rock Pipit or Meadow Pipit

[Chocky]

I thought this was a Rock Pipit but some one else says it is a Meadow Pipit

I took quite a few shots. I quite like this one

I'd say Meadow, because of the lighter legs Beryl.

Lovely photo, Beryl!

I'd agree with Rolf for several reasons -
a - where it is perched (as most Rock Pipits I have seen were on the ground - or beach, as in the attachment)
b - because it is a warm colour
c - because it has a more lightly-speckled breast than a Rock Pipit
d - because of the lighter legs (as Rolf says)
e - because Rolf is usually right!

[Chocky]

Meadow Pipit it is.
Thank you For your kind comment. I took quite a few but very much the same

(Rolf is always right )

Thank you for the reassurance. It is so hard to tell some times but yes the legs are very pale and give it away really.
The only place I see these are on the rocks along the estuary. I guess that is why I though it to be a Rock Pipit

LOL, now now ladies, not fair to make fun of me.

[Catherine]

Would we ever do that? Really, Rolf! And we were bowing in homage to the expert!

[Chocky]

Most definitely
