Can anyone identify this bird, seen on the edge of the river 5 days ago in Truso Valley in northern Georgia? There were quite a few water pipits along this stretch of the river, but this appears to be more lark-like (eyes) but there are not many larks with a long bill. I couldn't see any obvious crest.


Thanks,
Steve
Thanks Mark and Tommy
Yup, Water Pipit. Dark legs & yellow bill base.
Thanks Tommy, I’ve never seen one with white rings around the eyes before.
Water Pipit, soon to be coming down to theUAE
