Pampas Pipit (Anthus chacoensis)
About the Pampas Pipit
The Pampas pipit (Anthus chacoensis) is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae, the wagtails and pipits. It is found in Argentina and Paraguay. The Pampas pipit was described by John T. Zimmer in 1952 as a subspecies of the yellowish pipit (Anthus chii). After examining additional specimens of chacoensis and chii Zimmer concluded a year later that chacoensis deserved recognition as a full species. The species' first English name was Chaco pipit, and Campo pipit was proposed as an alternative. Because neither name accurately describes the species' range and primary habitat, the current "Pampas pipit" was adopted. The Pampas pipit is monotypic.
