Blyth's Pipit
Anthus godlewskii (Taczanowski, 1876)
BLYPI 
10040
Family: Passeriformes > Motacillidae
Difficult to separate from the very similar Richard’s Pipit – of which it has previously been considered a subspecies – this large pipit has a rather restricted breeding range, centred on Mongolia.
With just a few tens of records, typically from September to December, Blyth's Pipit remains are very rare visitor to Britain.
