Any one of numerous species of small singing birds belonging
to {Anthus} and allied genera, of the family
{Motacillid[ae]}. They strongly resemble the true larks in
habits, colors, and the great length of the hind claw. They
are, therefore, often called {titlarks}, and {pipit larks}.
Note: The {meadow pipit} ({Anthus pratensis}); the {tree
pipit}, or tree lark ({A. trivialis}); and the {rock
pipit}, or sea lark ({A. obscurus}) are well-known
European species. The common American pipit, or brown
lark, is {Anthus Pensilvanicus}. The Western species
({A. Spraguei}) is called the {American skylark}, on
account of its musical powers.
