I'm no expert but looking at Alstrom and Mild this looks close to a female Red-throated pipit. (Plate 1 a & b) but I'm happy to be corrected. Author: bkenneth Time: 18/02/2008 10:35
For what it's worth, I would also call it as a Red-throated Pipit.
Nice to meet you on the boat trip, Andrew, as well!
