Meadow pipits can be difficult to spot as their plumage often blends into surrounding vegetation. They have olive-brown upperparts, with broad black streaks on the head, mantle and back. The upperwing is darker with pale edges. Meadow pipits’ tails are dark brown with a green fringe, they have paler underparts, and the underwing is whitish. They have slender bills which are dark brown with a pale base. Eyes are dark brown, and their legs and feet are yellow-brown with a long hind claw. Male and female meadow pipits look similar while juveniles are browner with paler underparts. Their streaks are also not as dark
