Indochinese or Australasian Bushlark?, Chiang Mai, Thailand (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Would appreciate ID tips on differentiating these two species of bushlarks, both of which are possible in Chiang Mai.
Observed in June in agricultural fields.

Photos #1-3 (1499, 1503, 1506): Same two individuals feeding together.
Photo #4 (1491) and sound clip: separate individual giving high-pitched two-noted call.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, images are very grainy but, combination of distinct pale post-auricular collar, heavily marked breast, short tail with buffish (rather than white) outers + high-pitched call point are indicative of Indochinese.
