Several features hold true for both Buff-bellied Pipit at any time of year. In size and structure, they fall between [[Meadow Pipit]] ''A. pratensis'' and the [[Water Pipit]]/[[Rock Pipit]] ''A. spinoletta/petrosus'' complex, although usually appear closer to Water and Rock Pipits. The bill is distinctly and diagnostically shorter and finer than both Water and Rock Pipits, and actually overlaps in size with Meadow Pipit. Larger individuals can overlap in length with Water Pipit, but do not show the often strong and even thrush-like bill that that species can show. The fineness of the bill contributes to the more delicate jizz of Buff-bellied Pipit compared to Water Pipit, and again, can recall Meadow Pipit. '''[''[[Buff-bellied Pipit|Read More...]]'']'''
