Upsloping First third plus limited visibility at sunrise?

The answer's pretty straightforward and Occam's coloured.

Most of us with 10K plus hours have fallen for (and nearly done) this one.

See Sensory illusions in aviation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
.
and upsloping runway illusion - Google Search

Already low due to the upsloping runway approach illusion plus a banking late line-up - and it's easy to dig in a wingtip.
