The African pipit (Anthus cinnamomeus) is a fairly small passerine bird belonging to the pipit genus Anthus in the family Motacillidae. It is also known as the grassveld pipit or grassland pipit. It was formerly lumped together with the Richard's, Australian, mountain and paddyfield pipits in a single species, Richard's pipit (Anthus novaeseelandiae), but is now often treated as a species in its own right.
The African Pipit (Anthus cinnamomeus) is a common, streaky brown grassland bird across Africa, known for its distinctive pale eye-stripe, dark malar stripe, and white outer tail feathers; they forage for insects on the ground in short grass, savannas, and farmlands, often with a characteristic tail-wagging, strutting gait, and breed in neat cup nests on the ground, performing aerial songs to defend territory.
