The Long-billed Pipit is brown above and pale buff below. In Namibia it is usually seen alone or in pairs among gullies and rocky slopes.
Its upperparts are brown, with darker flight feathers and tail. The throat and belly are paler than the breast and flanks. In Namibia the bill is not especially long, despite the English name.
It uses gullies, rocky slopes, and eroded dongas, and feeds mainly on insects. It is usually seen alone or in pairs; outside the breeding season it may join small flocks of other passerines.
