Hellmayr's Pipit (Anthus hellmayri)
About the Hellmayr's Pipit
Hellmayr's pipit (Anthus hellmayri) is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae, the wagtails and pipits. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. Hellmayr's pipit was described by Ernst Hartert in 1909 with its current binomial Anthus hellmayri. Hartert's specific epithet hellmayri honors Austrian ornithologist Carl Eduard Hellmayr; its English name came later. Hellmayr's pipit has these three subspecies: A. h. hellmayri (Hartert, EJO, 1909) A. h. dabbenei (Hellmayr, 1921) A. h. brasilianus (Hellmayr, 1921) Some authors suggest that genetic differences among the subspecies are large enough that two full species may be present.
