Blyth's Pipit
Anthus godlewskii (Taczanowski, 1876)
Motacillidae — Wagtails, Pipits
Blyth's Pipit, Anthus godlewskii, breeds in southern Russia, Mongolia and northern China, and spends the nonbreeding season in India. It is a passerine of the Motacillidae family, found in the Palearctic. In the field it is best separated from Richard's Pipit by its slightly smaller build, shorter legs and shorter dark bill. It is a long-distance migrant, and in western Europe it appears only as a very rare vagrant. The species was described by Taczanowski in 1876.
