Hi all,
Is this Calandra Lark? Note fairly heavy bill, black patch on side of breast, and fairly short tail. In flight, I noted white sides to tail. Sorry, I didn't see the color of the underwings or note any trailing white on wing edges.
I'm confused because the supercilium seems so indistinct, and the bird appeared smaller in general size to other Calandra Larks I've seen. Overall, the bird just seems "less clear" than other instances of Calandra Lark. Perhaps it's a juvenile and hasn't gained its full adult coloration??
Any possibility it's Greater Short-toed Lark? or even Bimaculated Lark?
