Indochinese Bush Lark (Mirafra erythrocephala)
About the Indochinese Bush Lark
The Indochinese bush lark (Plocealauda erythrocephala) or Indochinese lark is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in southeast Asia. Following work a decade ago by Per Alström, the Indochinese bush lark was split from the Bengal bush lark to form a separate species. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised. The Indochinese bush lark was formerly placed in the genus Mirafra but was one of five species moved to the newly erected genus Plocealauda based on evidence from a large molecular genetic study published in 2023. The range of the Indochinese bush lark extends over a large swath of southeast Asia, and can be found in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos.
