What is the name we should use for this Pipit? Richard's or Paddyfield?   |

Great shots! Steve will be the authority on the proper common name.  |

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo - that is to say, that it depends on which authority one wishes to follow. Up to now, we are using for the Phils Masterlist - Richard's Pipit - Anthus richardi lugubris. My own particular interpretation having studied somewhat this superspecies is that the split is justified, and that it is more correctly Paddyfield (aka Oriental) Pipit - Anthus rufulus lugubris. However, since the split still has elements of controversy - we can still pick out "Poison"!

Bwahahaha, not to worry Sir Steve - I was just a bit confused as to what we should use as a common name for the board. From what you said, I guess Richard's or Oriental is okay then. Thanks! :-)
