Short-billed Pipit (Anthus furcatus)
About the Short-billed Pipit
The short-billed pipit (Anthus furcatus) is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae, the wagtails and pipits. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The short-billed pipit was described in 1837 with the binomial Anthus furcatus, and has retained that name ever since. Most taxonomic systems treat the short-billed pipit as monotypic. They formerly included what is now the puna pipit (A. brevirostrus) as a subspecies but separated them following a study published in 2018. However, the independent South American Classification Committee retains the puna pipit as a subspecies of the short-billed.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 20 recordings for this species: 6 CC BY-NC-SA · 2 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
