Description
The Pampas pipit is a very small member of its genus; it is about 14 cm (5.5 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a dark brown head with a pale area around the eye, a short dark "moustache", and a faint dark streak on the cheek. Their upperparts are dark brown with grayish feather edges that give a striped appearance. Their wings are blackish brown with pale buffy edges on the flight feathers. Their tail is mostly dark brown with mostly white outermost feathers. Their throat and underparts are white with dark spots on the breast and dark streaks on the flanks. They have a dark iris, a dark bill with a pinkish base to the mandible, and pinkish legs and feet.
Range & habitat
The Pampas pipit is found from Concepción Department in east-central Paraguay south to south-central Buenos Aires Province in east-central Argentina. It nominally inhabits grasslands of the Pampas but is "now found almost entirely in agricultural fields!" (emphasis in original).
