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.

A. c. catamarcae Hellmayr, 1921 A. c. chilensis (Lesson, RP, 1839) A. c. grayi Bonaparte, 1850 Some authors have suggested that the nominate subspecies A. c. correndera and subspecies A. c. catamarcae could form a separate species or two separate species. 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.
