The yellow-tufted pipit or African rock pipit (Anthus crenatus) is a small-sized, passerine bird that is native to South Africa and Lesotho. The yellow-tufted pipit is commonly found in mountain terrain, and they create their habitats in high-altitude shrub-land, grassland, and rocky areas. This species is identified by its brown and gray feathers. The bird has a white-gray eyebrow and yellow markings within its wings and stomach. The call of the yellow-tufted pipit allows the bird to stand out from other pipit species. The bird produces a repeated "whee-tsrreeu" that is loud and high-pitched. The yellow-tufted pipit has a life expectancy ranging from two to three years old.
