Summary

[edit]
Description

We sighted two birds just like this one - one was this Blyth's Pipit which is a migrant and uncommon in our region. But right next to it was the Grey Necked Bunting - rarity in our region. But we saw the Bunting while we were driving in a vehicle slowly and took around 5-10 seconds to identify, by that time that bird flew away. And we didn't see it again even after a 45 minute search in the area. Next time maybe.

The Blyth's Pipit is a migrant from Mongolia / Northern China region and winters in South Asia. The bird is hard to distinguish from the most common Paddyfield pipit and I still cannot id it in the field. The bird is insectivorous and is often seen on the ground looking for insects in dry grass or dirt roads. Despite seeing it many times, I am not sure if there are any behavioural differences between the Blyth's and Paddyfield Pipit.

Thanks in advance for the views and feedback if any. Much appreciated.
