Paddyfield Pipit चारचरी , धान तुलिका, सेरवी, धान चिड़ी, रुगैल (Anthus rufulus) is a small sparrow-sized bird in the pipit and wagtail family. It is a resident (non-migratory) breeder in open scrub, grassland and cultivation. Its identification becomes difficult as it plumage changes across the region and in winter when several other species share the space.  Hindi name of the Paddyfield Pipit (Anthus rufulus): चारचरी , धान तुलिका, सेरवी, धान चिड़ी, रुगैल  -- Ashutosh Jhureley  @BirdsAroundMe Unfinished List of Birds (पक्षियों की अपूर्ण सूची):  https://birds.rekabira.in/p/this-is-list-of-birds-i-clicked-since.html Identification Notes: 1.   Another good way to if is look at the month. April in north (India) will not see migrants. So a resident pipit. Paddy field. (Vivek Menon @vivek4wild) 2.  Hi, they're all Paddyfield. Those on railway and rocks are juveniles - can just make out the enlarged gape line indicative of this age. 'Crest' is a loose feather. Presumably locally bred
