Hello, welcome Randika!
Beautiful posting!
Can you tell us more on the bird?
Do you know the common name or even species name?
It looks like it could be a wagtail like Motacilla flava, perhaps?
Can you tell us about the place where you found it? You can alsolocate it in the map using the geotagging tool>
Let us know if you have any questions :-) Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

  Well, I am not certain about its common name. I think its a "Yellow-breasted pipit" and located in Wilpattu, Sri Lanka.

      So actually you were right in the first place, one other gentlemen also identified it as a "Motacilla flava" or Yellow Wagtail. Corrected, thanks for the help. Could be juvenile too. Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
