Anthus nyassae (Wood Pipit; Woodland Pipit)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Wood pipit or Woodland pipit (Anthus nyassae) is a small passerine bird belonging to the pipit genus Anthus in the family Motacillidae. It was formerly included in the Long-billed pipit (Anthus similis) 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.
