Male. — The Shore Pipit is considerably larger than the 

 Meadow Pipit, from which it may be easily distinguished by 

 observing that the bill is much longer, the claw of the hind 

 foot shorter, the upper parts of a dull olivaceous tint, and very 

 obscurely marked with dusky streaks, while the spots on the 

 lower are greenish-brown, ill-defined, and gradually blended 

 with the ground colour, whereas in the Meadow and Tree 

 Pipits they are blackish, smaller, and abruptly edged.
