Blyth's Pipit

Blyth's pipit is a brown-above, pale-below pipit that looks much like Richard's pipit but is slightly smaller, with shorter legs and a shorter dark bill. It has a strong, direct flight and a 'pshee' call that is higher pitched than Richard's. In winter it must be told carefully from other large pipits. It was described by Taczanowski in 1876 and is named for the zoologist Edward Blyth; the species name honours the Polish naturalist Victor Godlewski (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is a long-distance migrant that breeds in Mongolia and neighbouring areas and winters on open lowlands in southern Asia. The source does not mention Bhutan, so the Bhutan status of this entry should be checked (Wikipedia, general species account).
