Pipit. Kazakhstan.
Please help id Pipit shot in Kyzylkum desert (South Kazakhstan) in April 12 this year. No ideas. Bird is Water Pipit - sized bird. Observed in the flock with Water Pipits.
The list of Kazakhstan's Pipits: http://www.birds.kz/bkfamilypage.php?l=en&p=39#39 but please don't see to list only.

Could this be a very bright Tawny Pipit?

Doesn't the moustachial stripe rule out Long-billed? The covert centres also seem too bold.

You're bird appears to have a dark lore, which Blyth's shouldn't have. Though I must add that I have no experience of this species in the field.

Like Gerd, I think it's time to add Long-billed pipit to the Kazakh list...
Some photos from the UAE: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/76676...064203&k=yayiT Admittedly, the birds from UAE are duller than the subject bird. But some birds found in Africa that belong to that (super)species can look very similar to the Kazakh bird. |

Some Indian birds also look very similar to our bird, but have much larger bill.

My only experience of Long-billed pipit is what I've seen on a web trawl and the illustrations in Collins. The cinnamon-buff belly is surely a good feature..don't see that on any other contenders?..also the head pattern looks pretty good..and the diffuse greater covert bar also supports. Can't see a combination of these features on anything else?
