The irides in this species are an intensely dark brown ; 

 the legs and feet dusky black, as are also the upper 

 mandible and the point of the lower ; the remainder of 

 the lower mandible is a light horn-colour ; in young 

 birds the bill is rather paler.

I have found these Pipits common at Objimbinque. 

 Their favourite resorts are open places near moist situa- 

 tions ; a great number are sometimes found together, 

 yet not in flocks ; they mix much with the Wagtails. 

 These birds offer considerable variety of plumage ; some- 

 times they are very light-coloured, and at others their 

 tints are very deep.
