ID tip
The long-legged pipit, aptly named for its stilt-like legs and tall body. The beak is also relatively long. Its olive-gray plumage is distinctive, featuring a prominent moustache stripe, minimal chest streaking, and an unstreaked back. While it's the only pipit within its range during summer, it may mingle with other pipit species in winter. Even then, its long legs, minimal chest markings, and unstreaked back remain key identifiers. Its song is a repetitive "tit-tidii"," and its calls include a "psip" contact call, a harsh "ptic-ptic", and a "poui-titit" flight call.
