The Tree Pipit is a small, streaked brown bird. In the breeding season, a male rises high from a tree, sings, and then descends slowly in a display flight.
The back is brown and streaked, while the pale buff chest and flanks have finer streaks. The RSPB account distinguishes it from the similar Meadow Pipit by its heavier bill, shorter hind claw, and finer flank streaks.
In the breeding season, a male rises from a tree while singing, then parachutes slowly toward the ground. In Britain this display is associated with forest edges and open places that have isolated trees.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
