PAKHI DEKHOON PAKHI CHINOON @ 782 [Observe the bird and recognize]… A4…Coloured Pencil …[From the Ref. photograph of Mr. Uttam ???]… The olive-backed pipit (Anthus hodgsoni) is a small passerine bird of the pipit (Anthus) genus, which breeds across South, northCentral and East Asia, as well as in the northeast of European Russia. It is a long-distance migrant moving in winter to southern Asia and Indonesia. Sometimes it is also called Indian pipit or Hodgson's pipit, as well as tree pipit owing to its resemblance with thetree pipit. However, its back is more olive-toned and less streaked than that species, and its head pattern is different with a better-marked supercilium. The genus name Anthus is from Latin and is the name for a small bird of grasslands. The specific hodgsoni commemorates English diplomat and collector Brian Houghton Hodgson. • Size: Sparrow+ (ca. 15 cm) • Appearance: Greenish brown streaked with darker brown above. Supercilium, double wingbar and outer rectrices
