Discussion thread for Bradfield's Lark. If you would like to add a comment, click the Post Reply button.

According to Birdlife International:

Mirafra naevia and M. sabota (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have been lumped into M. sabota following Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993).

Is this true? Should Bradfield's Lark have a separate entry in Opus?

Help please!
 
Yup, Bradfield's Lark should be lumped with Sabota; neither Howard & Moore 03 nor Clements 08 recognise it as a separate species. However, balticbird's photo does illustrate the ''thick-billed'' group of subspecies (of the Sabota Lark) recognised by Hockey et al 05. I will move the photo and make the other necessary changes.
