'''Berthelot's pipit''' ('''''Anthus berthelotii''''') is a small [[passerine]] [[bird]] which breeds in [[Madeira islands|Madeira]] and the [[Canary Islands]]. It is a common resident in both archipelagos.
 
Berthelot's pipit is found in open country. The nest is on the ground, with 3-5 eggs being laid.

This is a small [[pipit]], {{convert|13|–|14|cm}} in length. It is an undistinguished looking species on the ground, mainly grey above and whitish below, with some breast streaking. It has a whitish [[supercilium]] and eyering, with dark eye and moustachial stripes. The sexes are similar, but juveniles are browner than adults.

This species appears shorter tailed and larger headed than [[meadow pipit]]. Its call is a "schrip" like [[yellow wagtail (disambiguation)|yellow wagtail]], and the song, given in flight, is a chattery "tsivrr tsivrr tsivrr tsivrr".

This species is named after the French naturalist [[Sabin Berthelot]],<ref>[https://www.webtenerifefr.com/propos-tenerife/lile/faune-flore/especes-animales/bisbita-caminero/  Web Tenerife website, ''Le pipit de Berthelot'']</ref> one-time resident of the [[Canary Islands]], by [[Carl Bolle (naturalist)|Carl Bolle]].
