Pipits always look longer-winged and Ricard's especially alsways looks longer-tailed.   You can identify it from the other common pipits because   a) Olive-backed has a white spot behind the eye on the ear coverts.  It is also smaller and has a grreenish tome to the back. b) Red-throated has bold straeking on the breast instead of the fine collar that this brd shows. It is also shorter-tailed and has heavier streaking on the back.  Some birds also  show the red throat especially in early autumn and in spring.   Hope this helps     Mike   The call of Richard's is also distinctive - but hard to describe.
