Pipit 4/5 - Red-throated Pipit (Lifer 493)


                               

A super find in Pulau Tioman during my company trip in month of April 2018 is this vagrant Red-throated Pipit. The brick red colored of its face to its throat  indicates its a maturing adult. I notice that its white and dark olived streak feathers is also prominent compared to the other pipits that I have seen in Peninsula.



It was a single bird foraging amongst half a dozen or more  Grey Wagtails on the golf course Hole 18.  As it was in the open and no cover I can only shoot from a far distance of 200ft. As I tried approaching nearer; it will just fly further away from me.
