Larks, Masai Mara, Kenya (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
The drivers/guides called every lark with rufous in the wing `red-winged'. Now that species is out of range, and I assume that the majority of such larks we saw were actually Rufous-naped. But are all the larks in these photos of that species?

Photos 1 and 2 show the same individual, as do 3 and 4. The others (see also next post) are all singles.

Thanks very much for your continued help,

Andrea

A couple more, who to me look not quite the same as the first set.

Bump. Surely larks aren't harder than pipits?

Meanwhile thanks to everybody who posted to the other threads, in particular Tib who's very kindly put a name to all my pipits and cisticolas.
