Skylark (1 Viewer)

I can't miss this bird, it looks so strange to me that I wouldn't be able to rest if I didn't ask you. The beak seems massive and the head is large (?). the tail feathers are ridiculously short and in general the bird seems stockier than the Skylark - is Calandra possible, or maybe something else?

Hi. Even though the underwing, and the dark patch on the side of the breast aren't visible, the pale supercilium, large bill, white trailing edge and white sides to the tail, look pretty good for Calandra? Not sure, though.

it's a Skylark. Calandra Lark would have more contrasting dark primaries, white trailing edge would be broader at base of wings (more evenly white in Skylark), tail would be proportionally shorter and body "fatter".

Thank you very much as always. At first I received some hope but then the truth turned out to be ordinary. But of course I'm grateful - the bird goes to "recognized"
