Is this Richard's Pipit? I always mix up with Olive-Backed Pipit and Red-Throated Pipit (non-breeding). Any hint on how to differentiate between these three species? Thanks!
 

 
I guess this one is Olive-Backed Pipit??

 
This one is Red-Throated Pipit??

They are all right and all photos of the top standard - congratulations Angus!
 
Your photos showed the diagnostic features of these pipits very well:
 
1. Richard's: long hind claw, clean lower chest.
2. Olive-backed: gentle expression, ear spot.
3. Red-throated:  heavy black streaks on breast
 
Keep up the good work!
