Photo caption queried
The photo caption needs to be reviewed, as it is ambiguous. It refers to the "Karoo Lark" (Certhilauda albescens), not to the Karoo Longbilled Lark, Certhilauda subcoronata, which is the subject of the entry. Also, the bill of the bird pictured seems rather short for C. subcoronata.

Thanks Peter; edited. I was also worried about whether the bird was acually C. coronata, as Rasmus queries the ID in the gallery and Roberts 7 shows the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (photo location) to be out of the range of C. coronata. Any idea what the bird may be?
