Larks seen at Paphos, Cyprus (1 Viewer)

Simple question: Are these Crested Larks or some other type of Larks?
Number 1 was a few days earlier; 2 and 3 are the same bird later. Both birds were seen in open, semi-wild scrub land near the sea in the Paphos area of Cyprus.

yep all three are crested lark. The first one has very distinct chest markings, more similar to a thekla lark, but that isn't found on Cyprus.
