African Pipit
Wagtails, Pipits and Allies are birds of grasslands, pastures, and prairies. Pipits have brown plumages. Wagtails are more grey, black, and white, often with a patch of yellow. Longclaws combine the browns of one with the yellow (or even red) splashes of the other.
The family is Motacillidae
