- Anthus campestris
Description
Photo taken:Secovlje Salina, Slovenia
Identification
The almost complete lack of streaks on the underparts is one of the best ways to tell a Tawny Pipit, though beware summer plumage Water Pipit. Tawny Pipit looks bigger and leggier than other pipits. The pale sandy plumage, bold eye-stripe and prominent line of black feathers on the median coverts are also useful features. Juveniles are more heavily streked and hence are confusable with Richard's Pipits, but are sleeker and always show distinctive dark lores.
