American Pipit

Description:

Like most other pipits, the American Pipit (Buff-bellied Pipit) is an undistinguished-looking species which usually can be seen to run around on the ground. The American Pipit has lightly streaked grey-brown upperparts and is diffusely streaked below on the buff breast and flanks. The belly is whitish, the bill and legs are dark. The Japanese Pipit is darker above and has bolder black streaking on its whiter underparts; its legs have a reddish hue.[3] The call is a squeaky sip.

Habitat:

bare ground next to freshwater pond
