Wood Pipit

The wood pipit or woodland pipit is a small passerine bird belonging to the pipit genus "Anthus" in the family Motacillidae. It was formerly included in the long-billed pipit but is now frequently treated as a separate species. It is a bird of miombo woodland in south-central Africa, unlike the long-billed pipit which inhabits open grassland. It perches in trees when flushed but forages on the ground for invertebrates.
