Long-legged Pipit

Anthus pallidiventris

The Long-legged Pipit, also known as the Long-clawed Pipit, is a distinguished member of the Motacillidae family. This avian species is characterized by its notably elongated legs, which it uses to gracefully navigate its grassland habitat.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify the Long-legged Pipit, one should look for its defining long legs and the subtle hues that adorn its plumage. Its appearance is marked by a pale underbelly, which contrasts with the surrounding environment.

Habitat

The natural abode of the Long-legged Pipit is the subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. Here, it finds solace and sustenance, thriving in the open spaces that these ecosystems provide.

Distribution

This species has a presence across a swath of Central Africa, with sightings confirmed in Angola, Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.

Conservation status

The Long-legged Pipit is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN. This status indicates that, for now, the species is not facing an immediate threat of extinction in the wild.

In the spirit of conservation, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that the Long-legged Pipit continues to grace the grasslands of Central Africa for generations to come.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦

Birda is an excellent platform to share your love of Birding and is a great tool of encouragement for a Birding Beginner like me. Birda has a very kind and supportive community of Birding enthusiasts. For me BIRDA is not only a BIRDING but also a WELLBEING App.
