[BirdPhotoIndia] Re: (delhibirdpix) Pipit Id

Thanks, Saurabh. Richard's is a winter visitor, so can it still be around in April? Would like to hear from other experts too. Sumit said that it did look structurally robust and suggested that i seek id help.I had consulted ams first and he felt it was Richard's and then wondered if it could be Tawny when he saw the attached shots of the same bird. There was a pair of them.If it's too late for winter migrants then the only resident species would be Paddyfield, as far as my knowledge goes but I am definite that it was a bigger and heavier bird (with  a long tail) and with a flight different from that of Paddyfield's.
Looking forward to some responses.
Thank you very much.

This pipit was seen in the  eastern Calcutta wetlands today - it is quite a bit bigger than a paddyfield and it kept bobbing its long tail like a wagtail. Would appreciate help in identifying  it.

Thanks.
