 note; Harting, p. 109.

The occurrence of this Pipit in Britain is uncertain. One 

 was probably obtained by Macgillivray in August 1824 

 (Man. Brit. Orn. i. p. 169 /), though described by him as 

 A. spinoletta (cf. Newton, /. c.) ; but the other specimens 

 enumerated by Harting, I.e., have, it appears, been incorrectly 

 identified. Frequent throughout North America and Japan ; 

 it has occurred as a straggler in Heligoland (Ibis, 1877, 

 p. 165).]
