var fieldCreationInformation = new FieldCreationInformation(Type)
{
    Id = Id,
    InternalName = InternalName,
    DisplayName = DisplayName,
    Group = Group,
    AddToDefaultView = AddToDefaultView
};

Field field = fields.FirstOrDefault(f => f.Id == fieldCreationInformation.Id || f.InternalName == fieldCreationInformation.InternalName) as TField;

var newFieldCAML = FormatFieldXml(fieldCreationInformation);

field = fields.AddFieldAsXml(newFieldCAML, fieldCreationInformation.AddToDefaultView, AddFieldOptions.AddFieldInternalNameHint);
fields.Context.Load(field);


Using PnP
var fieldCreationInformation = new FieldCreationInformation(Type)
{
    Id = Id,

    DisplayName = DisplayName,
    Group = Group,
    AddToDefaultView = AddToDefaultView
};
f = list.CreateField(fieldCreationInformation);
