A Paddyfield Pipit ruffling its feathers

A very common bird in our region in the grasslands and open areas. An insectivorous bird that flies in short bursts of undulating flying pattern which appears playful.

 

The birds are seen a lot in grasslands these days and I have trouble differentiating between the various four species of Pipits that can potentially see here. The differences are very subtle and need a sharp eye - I find it impossible to id them in the field.

 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
