Any help on this lark? The crest is telling me crested lark but are there any telltale id features that I'm missing in this heavily cropped photo? I've never seen crested lark before.

At first look, it would be Crested or Thekla's Lark but zooming into the photo the bill looks long, which is good for Crested, which I think it is. As a guidline only, Thekla's are common inland in rocky, hilly areas whereas Crested is the one normally found on sandy coast, agricultural land, beach car parks etc.
