Red-throated Pipit

The Red-throated Pipit is a small, strongly streaked pipit. A breeding adult is distinctive, with a brick-red face and throat. Outside that plumage it is brown and heavily marked above, with pale mantle stripes and dark streaking over white underparts. Compared with Meadow and Tree Pipits, its autumn plumage looks more extensively striped across the cap, back, rump, chest, and flanks. Its flight is strong and direct, accompanied by a characteristic thin psii call. (Wikipedia, Red-throated Pipit account)

This long-distance migrant breeds across the boreal north of Europe and Asia, with a foothold in Alaska, and winters in Africa and Southeast Asia. It uses open country, including tundra, mountains, marshes, and rough grassland. The ground nest is tucked beside a grass tussock or on a marsh hummock, built from dry grasses and sedges and lined with softer material. Four to six eggs are incubated by the female for nearly two weeks. Adults eat insects and also take seeds. (Wikipedia, Red-throated Pipit account)
