Does anyone else agree ... or disagree? :?

I'd be very pleased to accept that ID as that would be a new tick for me :dance: And yes, now that I look more closely, I can indeed see a long hind claw in my photos.

If thats one of the plainbacked pipits, Plainbacked seems the most likely :D But is there any form of streaking or not?!
