Pipit

Australasian pipit (Anthus novaeseelandiae)

Description: 

A small lark-like pipit, a little larger than a sparrow but slender with long legs, wings and tail. The tail has a broad white band on either side which is noticeable as it flies away from you. This trait is shared with the very similar European Songlark and the smaller, sparrow-like Singing Bushlark. The European Songlark was a crest on its head which is frequently raised. The Pipit has a white chin while the Songlark has a streaky chin.
