Lark from Grosse Spitzkoppe (1 Viewer)

[L'argonnais]

Hello,

seen last month in Namibie , closed to the Grosse Spitzkoppe. The quality of the pictures is terrible ! big crops of a bird which was quiet far ; when I took the picture , I almost did not see anything in the monitor; I hoped to get something ; did not work.... I guess it is a lark ; not sure ; and I m not sure somebody will be able to identify that bird . but in case....

Yes a lark. Perhaps fawn-coloured

Yes a lark. Perhaps fawn-coloured

reminds me more of red-capped?

Might be. I see no evidence of an even slightly contrasting cap though. What guides your thoughts?

Very plain as opposed to the busier look of F.c and a more delicate structure?

Could be Gray's, seems plain and big billed and they are present there. I would normally go to the default of Sabota's but as Andy says seems a bit plain

thanks for your interest ! I said closed to the Spitzkoppe ; it was ; but I should have said a few kilometers far ; in the desert ; I join a family picture taken a few seconds later after the bird.
Hope this element could help
