The Wood Pipit searches the grassy floor of woodland for insects and other small invertebrates in south-central Africa.
Its warm-brown back has dark streaks, while the pale underparts show breast streaking. A dark eye-stripe, white eyebrow, and pale outer tail feathers are useful marks.
It forages in the undergrowth for insects and other invertebrates. Its cup nest is concealed in a hollow at the base of a grass tuft.
