Unknown Pipit

Unknown Pipit

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

Mai Po Nature Reserve,

Nikon CP8400 plus Swarovski STS 80HD scope and Sw 30x eyepiece and DCA adapter.

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.

Cheers

PS thanks for  the lift yesterday evening.
