I think they are pipit insteaD
For me, they are most likely olive-backed pipits. This is beacuse the back of them are a little bit dark green in color.
also, the streaks of them are quite thick. One more, in the photo, there are three birds~ Group action is the behaviour of olive backed pipits~
So i go for olive-backed pipits~
Welcome for correction~
