About the Correndera Pipit
The correndera pipit (Anthus correndera) is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae, the wagtails and pipits. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, the Falkland Islands, Peru, Uruguay, and as a vagrant to Paraguay.

Others have proposed that the South Georgia pipit (A. antarcticus) be treated as a sixth subspecies.
The correndera pipit is 14 to 16 cm (5.5 to 6.3 in) long and weighs about 15 to 26 g (0.53 to 0.92 oz). The sexes have the same plumage.
