Please help me identify the bird.
Was following this bird for quite sometime at Charlotte lake Matheran.. It was hovering around the lake side and there was hardly any place for me to hide. So I was out in the open and no doubt he could very well see me. This was the best shot i could get. Not the perfect bird photograph though. I agree there are distractions (rocks) and the subject should've been better focused. The sunlight is harsh as it was clicked early evening.

Looks like a Yellow Wagtail. I am fine with the rocks as they show the habitat. Agree about the focus, do check the AF point. Thanks for sharing.

Yes this is a grey wagtail. Agree with comments made by Mrudul. Also in terms of composition you could have reduced some some space from the left side and considered having more space in the direction where the bird's head is facing. Also please check the F value in the exif details in DPP. It would be 5.6 instead of 5.7 :)
