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. spinolettu {of. Newton, I. 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).]
