Problems with ID

A rather interesting pipit besides the tick on the head, note the obvious loral and eye strip through the prominent eye-ring, the ill defined almost non existent supercillium, the pronounced pointed tooth to the dark centres on medium coverts. First winter Meadow Pipit Anthus pratensis was my choice but it has been concluded that this is in fact a Red-throated Pipit Anthus cervinus

The bird was photographed by Juhani Kyyrö juhani.kyyro@sci.fi at my bequest
