"Tree pipit The tree pipit (""Anthus trivialis"") is a small passerine bird which breeds across most of Europe and temperate western and central Asia. It is a long-distance migrant moving in winter to Africa and southern Asia. The scientific name is from Latin. ""Anthus"" is the name for a small bird of grasslands, and the specific "" trivialis"" means ""common"", from ""trivium"", ""public street"". This is a small pipit, which resembles meadow pipit. It is an undistinguished-looking species, streaked brown above and with black markings on a white belly and buff breast below. It can be distinguished from the slightly"
