Hi Bengt,
I like so much this clear capture of the bird.
An elegant pose in which we can delight with its feather's details.
It's so good the way you managed to build the composition with the orange stripes seen at the back.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Bengt,
Fine Pipit image.
Great POV, focus details, and the Bg adds some additional interesting color and pattern. Good use of DOF.

Hello Bengt,
Very nice shot with good details.
This is not a Water Pipit, neither a Rock Pipit. They both have dark beak and legs. I'll try to find out the specie when I find some time!
Best wishes

Hej Bengt
I think this is how American Pipit or Anthus rubescens looks in the winter but not 100% sure. Nice details and pose on this one and welcome back to grey Swedish weather.

Hej Bengt,
Judginging by the white outer tail feathers, the obvious light wingbars, the stripe over the eye, I would say that this is a young Water Pipit (Vattenpiplärka).
Nice sharp capture with a good pose showing all the features against a suitable blurred natural BG.
Well done and TFS!
Best wishes, Ivan

Hi, Bengt:
This is, as you suspected, a Rock Pipit Anthus petrosus petrosus, and not an unusually marked one either. The most distinctive feature of the Water Pipit is the pale supercilium (stripe above the eye), but the Rock Pipit has a complete, obvious eye ring and indistinct supercilium. The colours, including the bill, are also pretty classic Rock Pipit. The legs look a little pale, but I think that can be attributed to the lighting/exposure conditions. You may wish to compare with this photograph? The Water Pipit is a rare visitor to Ireland, and occurs in different habitats to the Rock Pipit.
Go easy on the Guinness ;)
