		They differ however from larks in several important characters, and, having been first separated to form the genus Anthus, which has since been much broken up, are now generally associated with the wagtails (q.v.) in the Passerine family Motacillidae.
		Pipits, of which over fifty species have been described, occur in almost all parts of the world, but in North America are represented by only two speciesNeocorys spraguii, the prairie-lark of the north-western plains, and Anthus ludovicianus, the American titlark, which last is very nearly allied to the so-called water-pipit of Europe, A. spipoletta.
		The South-African genus Macronyx, remarkable for the extreme length of its hind claw, is generally placed among the pipits, but differs from all the rest in its brighter coloration, which has a curious resemblance to the American genus Sturnella (see ICTERUS), though the bird is certainly not allied thereto.

		It is distinguishable from American Pipit (Anthus rubescens) by its buffy brown upperparts with broad flish streaking, yellowish to pale pinkish brown legs, and a dark upper mandible that contrasts with a pale lower mandible.
		The Sprague's Pipit leaves the wintering grounds in April, arriving on breeding grounds late April to mid-May. It leaves the breeding grounds anywhere from September through November and will arrive in wintering grounds over the same period.
		During severe drought, this pipit is limited by the presence of grass.

	Sandgrouse - Long-billed Pipit in Egypt
		Long-billed Pipit is widespread in southern, East and West Africa, east through Arabia to the Himalayas, India and Burma (Snow and Perrins 1998).
		Given the subsequent sighting, in November, on the Gebel Elba plain, it is probable that Long-billed Pipit is resident in the region, as the species is known to descend to lower elevations in the winter in Sudan (Cave and Macdonald 1953), and the Western Palearctic (Snow and Perrins 1998).
		Tawny Pipit is a relatively common passage migrant throughout the country and a scarce winter visitor (Goodman and Meininger 1989).

	Sprague's Pipit Detailed Information - Montana Animal Field Guide
		While the Sprague's Pipit is a species of the prairie, the American Pipit typically favors wetter areas and perches more conspicuously (on fences, telephone wires, and treetops) than the Sprague's (Robbins and Dale 1999).
		Sprague's Pipit is a species of the prairie, and appropriately, has been seen nearly throughout the eastern two-thirds of the state.
		This pipit is also known to utilize and breed in alkaline meadows and around the edges of alkaline lakes (Johnsgard 1986).

	Rock and Water Pipits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This much publicised ‘split’ is in fact nothing new (Bannerman for instance treated Rock and Water Pipit as separate species in 1953) and, to their credit, most county bird reports have long given the two forms separate entries (making it easier to reclaim the status of these two ‘new’ species).
		Rock and Water Pipits can easily be distinguished from other European pipit species by their dark legs and feet which may, in fact, be dark reddish-brown; and the bill can show an obvious brownish-orange base to the lower mandible (the brighter bare-part colours more frequent on first-winter Rock Pipits).
		Also, unlike Rock Pipit, the supercilium is whitish and may be long and noticeable; it can be more buff-toned and indistinct in front of the eye, and occasionally almost absent.

	Hong Kong Mystery Pipit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I have been trying to identify one of the pipits that I photgraphed in Hong Kong on a recent trip, on Oct 19, 2002.
		While I wouldn't have been sure enough of pipit ID to call it as a Red-throated from the photos (have "seen" sp.in Bulgaria; flyovers ID'd on call!), but it's DEFINITELY not a Richard's, which would only have a gorget of streaking across the upper breast,would be much more upright and have pale lores.
		Steve Leonard - Malden, MA Having done a little browsing for photos of Richard's Pipit with some success, I suspect that the bird in the photos from Hong Kong is indeed that species.

		It sounds like ideal T.Pipit country to me, the display is seen in both forms of pipit, although perching atop a tree is more indicative of tree pipit (hence the name) the two songs can be very similar but I think MP gets quicker as it sings, so it was probably a tree pipit.
		The likelihood is that this was a Meadow Pipit but it was good (I think) to hear that plumage characteristics are not easy even for people who've seen loads of each species.
