Looks like a Pechora Pipit to me~~

Yes, this is one of at least three Pechora present today.

Great Pechora. Home in on the 'white tram lines' & diagnostic primary projection beyond the tertials.

Based on the dullness of the head and upperparts,the extend of streaking below, and rather buffish underparts I would say that this is subspecies menzbieri which is treated by some as a distinct species, Menzbier's Pipit.

What is the status of the two subspecies in Hong Kong? Are most previous birds believed to be the nominate race?
