To me this bird looks like an ordinary first winter Richard's Pipit especially with the multiple nice photos taken.
- bill is still too thick for Blyth's
- crown and back not well streaked
- supercilium long and contrasting
- median covert pattern not as contrasting as in Blyth's (interesting to see how with an alteration of photo angle, the dark centre of the adult median coverts are actually triangular. Also the color of median covert tip is buff, not whitish as in Blyth's)
- claw is too long
- tail is too long
- jizz is not reminiscent of smaller Pipits with long neck and long tail
