Arnaud's sparrow-lark

Pseudonigrita arnaudi

Arnaud's sparrow-lark (Pseudonigrita arnaudi) is a small passerine bird found in the arid regions of eastern Africa. It is characterized by its sandy brown plumage with black streaks on the upperparts and a pale underbelly. This species is known for its distinctive aerial displays during the breeding season, where males perform elaborate flight patterns to attract females. Arnaud's sparrow-lark feeds on seeds and insects, foraging on the ground in open grasslands and semi-desert areas. Its population is currently stable, but it faces potential threats from habitat loss and degradation.
