2012-Jan-19, Long Valley

The photos were taken at sunset.

I guess it is a Buff-bellied Pipit.

Reasons:
Its back isn't like olive-green color -> it is not Olive-backed Pipit.
It doesn't show strong black streaks on upperparts -> it is not Red-throated Pipit.
It doesn't have prominent primary projection -> it is not Pechora Pipit.

Therefore, my choice is Buff-bellied Pipit.

Any advice please?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Alan

Yes, it's a Buff-bellied Pipit - please note the heavy black necklace.
