Buff-bellied Pipit in Detail.

Anthus rubescens, commonly known as the American Pipit or Buff-bellied Pipit, is a small passerine bird that belongs to the family Motacillidae.

The American Pipit is a migratory bird that breeds in the tundra and rocky mountain areas of Alaska and northern Canada. During the non-breeding season, it can be found in grasslands, agricultural fields, and coastal areas of North and Central America.

The American Pipit has a distinctive appearance, with a brownish-gray back, white underparts, and streaked breast. It also has a thin bill and long legs, which make it well adapted for foraging on the ground.

This bird feeds mainly on insects, spiders, and other invertebrates, which it searches for by walking and running on the ground. It also consumes seeds and plant matter during the winter months.

The American Pipit is known for its high-pitched, musical call, which it uses to communicate with other members of its species during breeding season.
