Oriental Skylark (Alauda gulgula)

At least I think it is. It could very well be a Jerdon's Bushlark ( Mirafa affinis ). Half the experts I consulted voted for Oriental and the other half for Jerdon’s :-(

A marvellous picture you've got of this skylark Jp; with some lovely plumage detail too.

Very well done and thanks my friend.
