I make this Eastern Lark but someone with a slightly differing interpretation might make it Karoo Long-billed. The field guides have the two species separated by a straight line on the 24 degree latitude line. My experience of them is that they are separated by habitat-Karoo in the dry Karoo,Eastern in the grasslands and a sort of hybrid in the grassy Karoo which explains why every time there a bird is reported from Mountain Zebra National Park itellicits hot debate. |

Grey nape and longer, more decurved bill points to Karoo Long-billed Lark (Chamberlain's LBJs - Faansie Peacock - p.83). |
