Observation details
Dull Pipit (slender bird with thin bill) with strong dark stripes on the breast. Well defined white supercilium. Pale ocular circles but very thin. A single thin wing band. The back, neck and upper part of the head seems uniformed greyish pale. Legs pink. Tail with little pale external rectrices. White throat well defined by dark stripes. Pale and dark spots on ears cover. Singing individual with visible brood patch. Looks similar to a non-breeding Asian adult or darker adult American Pipit but the song, the pink legs and the spots on ears cover suggest rather an Olive-backed Pipit. However, the bird has been observed in open Tundra (positively no trees around) but closely related to a human-made infrastructure. The bird was singing regularly from a perch near the ground (not in flight) and responded to the playback of the calls and song of the Olive-backed Pipit. Recording of song made.
