Short Description:
The Rosy pipit (Anthus roseatus) is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae. It is found in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, South Korea, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Breeds in high Himalayas; winters in plains and foothills in N subcontinent. Always has boldly streaked upperparts. olive cast to mande, and olive to olive-green edges to wing feathers. Adult breeding has mauve-pink wash to underparts with irregular black spotting on breast and flanks; pinkish to buff supercilium is very prominent. with broad dark eye-stripe and moustachial stripe, and whitish eye-ring. female is less pink below with heavier breast streaking than male. In non-breeding plumage. heavily streaked underpans and dark lores help separate from Water and Buff-bellied. This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. Abundant resident in Pakistan's northern areas. Breeds throughout in Northern areas above the tree-line upto 4500m. Winters in outer foothills where ever is damp grassland.

Rosy Pipits are ground-dwelling birds that forage for insects, seeds, and small invertebrates. They are often observed running or hopping on the ground in search of food. During the breeding season, which typically occurs from May to July, they build cup-shaped nests concealed in grass tufts or low vegetation. These birds are known for their melodious songs, which they use for territorial defense and courtship displays.
