Indian Bush Lark (Mirafra erythroptera)
About the Indian Bush Lark
The Indian bush lark (Plocealauda erythroptera) is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in South Asia. The Indian bush lark was formerly placed in the genus Mirafra. It is one of five species moved to a newly erected genus, Plocealauda, based on evidence from a large molecular genetic study published in 2023. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised. The alternate names "red-winged lark" and "red-winged bush lark" are more commonly used to describe the red-winged lark (M. hypermetra). Other alternate names of the Indian bush lark are "Indian lark", "Indian red-winged lark", "red-winged singing bushlark" and "rusty-winged lark".

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 36 recordings for this species: 28 CC BY-NC-ND · 8 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.
