A streaky brown pipit of open woodland and edge habitats, classed as rare/accidental in Borneo where it lies well to the east of its normal Old World wintering range.
Typically feeds on the ground on insects but readily perches in trees when disturbed, a habit that helps distinguish it from more terrestrial pipit species.
