ID tip
The ochre-breasted pipit is 13.5 to 15 cm (5.3 to 5.9 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a blackish brown head with a yellow-buff supercilium, a thin dark "moustache", and a black spot on the cheek. Their upperparts and wings are mostly blackish brown with bright buff or golden ochraceous-yellow feather edges that give a bold streaked appearance. Their rump is more rufous and less streaked than their back. Their tail's inner three pairs of feathers are dark brown. Voice: The ochre-breasted pipit sings during the aerial display, a "very high, sharp, twittering series in 3-6 slightly lowered groups of notes without intervals, ending in a gliding-down èèèh-èèèh-èèèh".
