  Pipit \Pip"it\, n. [So named from its call note.] (Zo["o]l.)
     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.
