Collared Lark (Mirafra collaris)
About the Collared Lark
The collared lark (Amirafra collaris) or collared bushlark is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in East Africa. The collared 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. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised. The collared lark has a considerable range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 530,000 km2 over an area from eastern Ethiopia and Somalia to central Kenya. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. Species factsheet - BirdLife International
