Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Lisl van Deventer
Comment:   Features not sharp: back looks unstreaked; lower mandible looks pink (Buffy Pipit) rather than yellow (Plain-backed Pipit). Buff outer-tail feathers. Weight in the upper half of the body more typical of a Buffy Pipit.
