You are right again Resin.
For years and years we knew this elusive small Bird as Richard’s Pipit.
Some authors split the Australasian Pipit further into two species: Australian Pipit (Anthus australis) in Australia and New Guinea and New Zealand Pipit (Anthus novaeseelandiae) in New Zealand.
Next they will be splitting the ones in my front yard from my neighbors. ;o(

When will it ever end ???
