CommentA couple of birds showing that plumage colour is quite variable, these birds seem to use land that compliments their colouration as one of their major 'safety devices' is their cryptic plumage.
As seen here, the first thing the bird does is turn its back on an intruder, often laying low to hide the white underbelly and they can be very inconspicuous. They are not doing so here as they know their cover is blown.
