Body length: 14-15 cm. Breeds in boggy areas with open conifer forest and willows, on damp tundra with scattered trees and bushes, by swampy river banks with rushes, willows and isolated trees. Summer visitor (Jun-Sep), winters in SE Asia. Rare vagrant in W Europe, mostly Sep-Oct; odd spring records. Terrestrial. Hard to flush, scampers mouse-like in vegetation.

Identification: Owing in boldly streaked upperparts, with whitish strips along mantle-sides (often a hint of a secondary stripe) and frequently dark patch on throat-side, most resembles young red-throated Pipit, but differs as follows: somewhat heavier bill with usually pinkish or light brown base; shorter tertials, which do not cover primaries right to the tips; more prominent pale, almost whitish wingbars; contrast between white belly and buff breast (Red-throated Pipit more uniform yellowish-white below); crown and ear-coverts rather light rufous-brown, distinctly streaked dark; tendency to have dark lores but indistinct moustachial and lateral throat stripes; supercilium short and diffuse, finely streaked; tail-sides not pure white.
