Taken in Shamwari reserve east of Port Elizabeth in October, I thought this was a Rufous-naped Lark like many others in the reserve but on further inspection I noticed some characteristics of Rudd's Lark:
1. Short tail with white edges (pic 1)
2. Paler underparts with some black streaking on sides (pic 2)
3. Pale median stripe on head (just visible pic 3)
4. Long, pale legs (pic 4)
5. No discernible crest
6. Very obvious supercilium going well back
7. Quickly running on ground
Picture 5 just gives another view of the back. All pics from video so not great I'm afraid. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
