One species of pipit, the Yellow-breasted Pipit, is sometimes split out into a genus Hemimacronyx, which is considered to be intermediate between the longclaws and pipits. The split was originally proposed based on morphological features but it has also found support based upon genetic analysis. More

Yellow-breasted Pipit Anthus chloris 2009 IUCN Red List Category (as evaluated by BirdLife International - the official Red List Authority for birds for IUCN): Vulnerable Justification This species is classified as Vulnerable since habitat loss and range contractions suggest its small population is undergoing a decline, which is expected to accelerate to a rapid pace given projected rates of habitat loss.

of at least 3 Yellow-breasted Pipits in the new section of Suikerbosrand. Martin Benadie had reported 2 birds on 30 June, co-incidentally very close to where Etienne Marais had seen a bird on 14 June, while birding with Ken Freeman of Australia. Yellow-breasted Pipit is listed in the Red Data Book as "Vulnerable" with an estimated population of 2500-6500 birds worldwide, all of which are found along the high grasslands adjacent to the eastern escarpement, between Mpumalanga and the Eastern Cape.

yellow-breasted pipit is restricted to highland grasslands in South Africa, where its small, declining population is threatened by habitat loss. The long-tailed pipit (A. longicaudatus), recently described from Kimberley, South Africa, is presumed to be a migrant and its range and status are unclear. It is regarded as Data Deficient. The Near Threatened Nilgiri pipit (A. nilghiriensis) is endemic to southern India, where it has a small range on grassy upland slopes of the Western Ghats of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. More

Some good spots (for Yellow-breasted Pipit for example) are quite exposed and a chilly wind could come up at any time. Rain showers are fairly common and if there has been heavy rainfall recently you should enquire locally about road conditions. Winters are cold (by South African standards) with maximum temperatures often in the low teens and occasionally lower. Minimum temperatures are often below zero and frost is commonplace. Light snowfalls sometimes occur. Rain is rare. More

Yellow-breasted Pipit, Wing-snapping Cisticola, African Pipit, Cape Longclaw, Long-tailed Widow and Common Quail) are used as the model study taxon group, all taxonomic groups are predicted to benefit from identification of, and subsequent application of, conservation-friendly management. Currently, both conservation managers and agricultural extension officers lack the biological information needed to advise on or effect sound management practices. Implementing sound management practices will have benefits beyond those associated directly with biodiversity. More
