Skylark juvenile or Meadow Pipit ID please

Hi all, can any of the bird experts determine if this is a juvenile Skylark or a Meadow Pipit. Problem is there were both species around at the time and the habitat was suitable for either. I am going for juvenile Skylark but I could easily be wrong
Thanks
Roger
