The Olive-backed Pipit is an Asian pipit that regularly appears in small numbers in western Alaska and occasionally as a vagrant on the Pacific Coast. It has bright olive-green upperparts with fine streaking and a pale buff supercilium. Its two-note 'tseep' call gives it away overhead during migration.
