WORN MEADOW ??

Strange looking pipit along recuvler sea front,when i first saw it i was thinking worn whinchat than i had a good look pipit but not a meadow,as it sounded like a sparrow a took a few distant shoots before it flew when it land in front but block from view for a shoot i note which i thought was strange it was buff colour under parts and breast but no flank streaking as such,but only on the sides,the bill was black and it seemed long legged,than again could it be a worn summer meadow,but we in summer now
