The Striped Pipit has a patchy range east and south of the equatorial rainforest belt. Bold streaks below and pale lemon edges on the wings and tail help identify it.
Its underparts are boldly streaked, and the edges of the wing and tail feathers are lemon-yellow.
It is seen alone or in pairs, and in small loose parties outside the breeding season. It actively forages among woodland litter and rocks and flits into leaf cover when alarmed.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
