Hellmayr's pipit

Hellmayr's pipit (Anthus hellmayri) is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae.

It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

Its natural habitats are temperate grassland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and pastureland.

Hellmayr's pipit is a medium-sized brown bird weighing 18.6g. It has pink legs and a light pink bill. Its back is boldly streaked and its breast and flanks are only faintly streaked. It can be confused with the similar-looking Short-billed pipit but its throat is white instead of streaked and it lacks the white submoustachial stripe. Eggs are oval in shape and white with brown speckles.
