Phil and I found a well-marked Tree Pipit at Sabkhat Al Fasl on Friday 2 October 2015. The bird was seen initially from some distance and caused some thoughts of Olive-backed Pipit. The bird appeared to have relatively plain upperparts, lacking streaking of Tree Pipit and sometimes looking olive toned but other times more brownish.<\/p>\n

The bird, however, lacked the obvious white supercilium and strong black lateral crown strip normally shown above the supercilium of Olive-backed Pipit. The bird was well marked below with large dark breast streaking ad had a very obvious ear covert spot, although this lacked the black mark below that is often obvious in Olive-backed Pipit.<\/p>\n

As we got closer to the bird it became apparent it was a well-marked Tree Pipit and a couple of photos are shown below. One thing to mention is the bird looks much browner in the photos that it did in the field.<\/p>\n
