pipit

Streaky grassland songster

A pipit is a small, slender songbird found worldwide, typically brown or buff with streaked plumage.

Pipits resemble larks and frequent open ground—meadows, shorelines, tundra—where they walk rather than hop, bobbing their tails as they forage for insects.

The name imitates their high, thin call.
