I would like to said this is a Tree Pipit rather than an Olive-backed Pipit, I don't see what else it could be. A very good find.

All the best,

Jonathan

I think, I've look again on this pics a bit too quickly and that the well pronounced supercilium and the black line above is a bit too well marked for a Tree Pipit, as well as the primary projection is not good as well. Sorry for that.

All the best,

Hi, Jonathan, it's OK.
I've taken a picture of Tree Pipit during my birding trip at N. Xinjiang this May which I've mistaken it as a Meadow Pipit; their features (including Olive-backed Pipit) are quite confusing to me!

Best regards,
Paul
