Species name:   Anthus vaalensis -- Buffy Pipit; Vaalkoester
Species code:   695
Comment number:   2
By:   Lisl van Deventer
Comment:   GISS is too dainty for Buffy Pipit (small bill, short legs, short tail). Back looks streaked (but photo not quite in focus, so difficult to confirm). GISS points to African Pipit. Juvenile African Pipit has a pink base to the bill.
