Lark ID from Iran (1 Viewer)

[Shahrzad]

Yesterday, on the occasion of the International Migratory Birds Day, I went to an area in Varamin, which is close to Tehran, it is a semi-desert area.
On the way, I saw this Lark, which at first I guess is a Bar-tailed Lark, the color of its head and cheeks has become interesting to me.
Thank you for your confirm and comments.

I think it’s OK for Bar-tailed Lark Shahrzad, the cheeks/ear covert area is more pronounced in autumn as I recall.
