Angolan Lark (Mirafra angolensis)
About the Angolan Lark
The Angola lark (Amirafra angolensis) or Angola bushlark is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in southern and central Africa. The Angola lark was formerly placed in the genus Mirafra. It is one of three species that were moved to the resurrected genus Amirafra based on the results of a large molecular genetic study by the Swedish ornithologist Per Alström and collaborators that was published in 2023. Three subspecies are recognised: A. a. marungensis (Hall, BP, 1958) – southeast DR Congo and southwest Tanzania A. a. angolensis (Barboza du Bocage, 1880) – north, west, central Angola A. a. antonii (Hall, BP, 1958) – east Angola to south DR Congo and northwest Zambia.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 14 recordings for this species: 13 CC BY-NC-ND · 1 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
