	INRIN - Water pipit
		The water pipit is protected by the Illinois wildlife code of 1971 03 and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 04.
		Water pipits are usually found on the ground but may perch on trees, fence posts and wires, or telegraph wires along roadsides 06.
		The water pipit's range is circumpolar; it breeds in Europe, Asia, and northern North America, and winters south to northern Africa, southern Asia and Central America 06.

	Water Pipit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Water Pipit, Anthus spinoletta, is a small passerine bird which breeds in the mountains of southern Europe and southern temperate Asia across to China.
		It is a short-distance migrant moving to wet open lowlands such as marshes and flooded fields in winter.
		Some birds in winter may resemble the closely related Rock Pipit, with which Water Pipit was previously considered conspecific.

	Rock and Water Pipits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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).
		Migrant Water Pipits can be remarkably tolerant of tall vegetation - on the Isles of Scilly they regularly (and characteristically) feed in standing fields of cabbages, kale, etc, as well as frequenting dry meadows and cow-pastures.

	Buff-bellied Pipit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This species is closely related to Rock Pipit and Water Pipit, all three forms having previously been considered conspecific.
		American Pipit winters on the Pacific coast of North America, and on the Atlantic coast from the southern USA to Central America.
		The breeding habitat is tundra, but outside the breeding season these birds are found in open lightly vegetated areas similar to those favoured by Water Pipit.

		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.

		The wing-bars looked poor for Water but this is probably variable and dependent on how many new, duller fringed feathers have appeared during the pre-breeding moult.
		If it is the same bird and definitely is (now!) a Water Pipit, and definitely did have a green toned rump once, then the single best clue for identifying trickier birds is now useless.
		If it is a Water Pipit with green tones on the rump then it should be written up somewhere.
