Definition: Anthus trivialis
Pipit
\Pip"it\, n. [So named from its call note.] (Zo["o]l.)
Any one of numerous species of small singing birds belonging
to
Anthus and allied genera, of the family
Motacillid[ae]. They strongly resemble the true larks in
habits, colors, and the great length of the hind claw. They
are, therefore, often called
titlarks, and
pipit larks.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The
meadow pipit (
Anthus pratensis); the
tree pipit
, or tree lark (
Anthus trivialis); and the
rock pipit, or sea lark (
Anthus obscurus) are
well-known European species. The common American pipit,
or brown lark, is
Anthus Pensilvanicus. The Western
species (
Anthus Spraguei) is called the
American skylark
, on account of its musical powers.
