Hi Thomas,

Have you confirmed it with its sound (i.e. different sound to the common Richard's Pipit)?

I see from the third photo (also appear on first and second photo) that the bird shows a very long claw in hind toe, the only feature I can see the different w/ Richard's and Blyth's.

Happy New Year!

Gary

Interested to know why you think it is Blyth's.

This bird do not looks like a typical Richard's Pipit (see the black streaks on the breast).  With these photo only, I don't think you can rule out Richard's.  So Blyth's Pipit cannot be established completely.  

I beleive this is a Richard's.

Thanks for all reply and give the id for the post!

Geoff,

  Its color and movment are different from Richard's Pipit that make me think it is not a Richard's.

Thomas.
