The Pechora pipit (Anthus gustavi) is a small passerine bird which breeds in the East Palearctic tundra and densely vegetated areas near river banks ranges from the Pechora River to the Chukchi Peninsula.

The species is heavily streaked brown above, with whitish mantle stripes, and with black markings on a white belly and buff breast below.

It can be distinguished from red-throated by its heavier bill, whiter mantle stripes, and contrast between its buff breast and white belly.

This, combined with its skulking habits, makes this a difficult species to find and identify away from its breeding grounds in the Arctic.

The lack of cover on this small island makes skulking passerines easier to find.
