The Striped Pipit is an African pipit species characterized by its heavy streaking on the underparts, making it quite distinctive among pipits. It prefers rocky, grassy hillsides.
Where to spot
Southern and East Africa, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, and parts of Tanzania. Found on rocky hillsides, open woodlands, and dry grasslands.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive heavy streaking on the breast and flanks. It often perches conspicuously on rocks or low bushes before dropping to forage on the ground. Listen for its song, which can be quite musical.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during the day.

Its bold streaking provides excellent camouflage against the broken ground and shadows of its rocky habitat.
