Which Pipit?

Pipit's are a bug-bear of mine. For me some birds, like the Oystercatcher in the extra, are easy to identify and then there are the Pipits. Some people will find it easy but for me no. I usually have to take a photo and then look at it closely on the screen and compare to the bird books. As a result we almost certainly have a Meadow Pipit, colour of legs, eye markings, long back facing claw etc.  Having said that it did spend most of its time on a rock and nowhere near a meadow. 

Now been confirmed as a Rock Pipit - probably the Scandinavian variety.
