Large-billed Lark (Galerida magnirostris)
About the Large-billed Lark
The large-billed lark or southern thick-billed lark (Galerida magnirostris) is a small passerine bird found in southern Africa. The name "large-billed lark" may also refer to Bradfield's lark. The name "thick-billed lark" more commonly refers to the species of the same name (i.e. Rhamphocoris clotbey). The large-billed lark was originally placed in the genus Alauda, and then Calendula until that genus was subsequently re-named to the present Galerida. Another alternate name used for the large-billed lark is the long-billed lark. Three subspecies are recognized: G. m. magnirostris (Stephens, 1826): Found in south-western South Africa G. m. sedentaria Clancey, 1993: Found in south-western Namibia and western South Africa
