Peruvian Pipit (Anthus peruvianus)
About the Peruvian Pipit
The Peruvian pipit (Anthus peruvianus) is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae, the wagtails and pipits. It is found in Chile and Peru. The Peruvian pipit was described by Francis Nicholson in 1878 with the binomial Anthus peruvianus. For much of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first it was treated as a subspecies of what is now the yellowish pipit (originally A. chii, then A. lutescens, and now again A. chii). Nicholson had noted its similarity to A. chii. It was again recognized as a full species following a study published in 2018. The Peruvian pipit is monotypic.
