Digiscoped yesterday at Mai Po on the third best day of the year . I'm not very good with pipits. What is it? Neil.

It's in a tree and has an olive-green back and short hind claw. This eliminates all except Olive-backed Pipit.
On a side view there is a white spot on the cheek which is also diagnostic.
