Looks a bit like a juve Meadow Pipit to me, but I could be wrong  |

I would say that this is a young Woodlark, with the main pointer towards this identification being the black and white primary coverts (black with broad white tips).

Roy. | Nice one Roy. That's a definite pointer (he says in hindsight), and there may even be a white tip to the tail. My eagerness got the better of me, and I bow to your expertise. |
