Plain-Backed Pipit

The plain-backed pipit is found in Africa and has nine-subspecies. I saw one on July 19, 2025 near Nkima Forest Lodge about Lake Victoria and the Mabamba Swamp in Uganda. As I look through the subspecies descriptions for the plain-backed pipit, and their geographical locations I can't find one that matches. 
I got a number of photos, but this bad photo is the best one I got.
