Need help with a bird I'm clueless on

Post by MtnAg08 »

At my park in Avon, CO this evening I saw a bird I at first thought was a young robin (maybe it is) but there were two of them, they're much smaller than a robin and they kept hugging the lake's edge and seemed much more skittish than a robin usually is. Trying to search online and I'm having no luck. Thanks!

Think I figured it out. American Pipit. Didn't realize they could have that orangish color to their breast.
