I think you are right that it is a pipit, Ken, but given the location and the fact that it's in a tree I don't think it is Red-throated.  
 
In fact what we can see on it, especially the prominence of the supercilium, suggests it is the only pipit which occurs in TPK i.e. Olive-backed.

Thanks Mike and Ken!
But if it is olive-backed pipit, why there is a "long and heavy" dark streak on its breast? Thanks again!
