Pipit ID (Tai Mo Shan)
Hi all,
I saw some pipits on Tai Mo Shan last Sunday.
3-4 of them flew among trees and grasses nearby the hiking trail. I believe they are Richard’s pipits.
Another one was, by itself, hopping between a couple of big rocks and the ground on top of the hill, not less than 50m from me. I was unable to take a good photo of it but a bunch of super blur ones - see attached. Would anyone be able to tell/ guesstimate what it is?
Thanks in advance.

A couple of “close-up” if they are helpful...

Thank you Ivan.
Is Upland pipit still a resident at Tai Mo Shan? In ebird, the last record there was taken in April 2020 already! Wonder if anyone has seen it over the last 13 months.
