15cm
The paddyfield pipit is a large pipit at 15cm, but otherwise an undistinguished-looking bird, mainly streaked grey-brown above and pale below with breast streaking. The usual clutch is three or four eggs with a greenish ground colour and numerous small brown specks at the larger end (Wikipedia, general species account).
That is all the source read for the Bhutan guide gives. No range, habitat or diet information was found, so none is stated, and its occurrence in Bhutan is flagged for checking.
