Is this Richard's Pipit? I always mix up with Olive-Backed Pipit and Red-Throated Pipit (non-breeding). Any hint on how to differentiate between these three species? Thanks! I guess this one is Olive-Backed Pipit?? This one is Red-Throated Pipit??

They are all right and all photos of the top standard - congratulations Angus! Your photos showed the diagnostic features of these pipits very well: 1. Richard's: long hind claw, clean lower chest. 2. Olive-backed: gentle expression, ear spot. 3. Red-throated: heavy black streaks on breast Keep up the good work!
