OCHRE-BREASTED PIPIT Anthus nattereri VULNERABLE
A rare pipit of the southern flooded grasslands of Paraguay, the Ochre-breasted is a very little-known species. In fresh plumage they are one of the more distinctive pipit species, with their warm ochre-coloured underparts. However when worn you may find yourself relying more on behavioural and vocal signals to put a name to this Little Brown Job!
