Red-winged Lark
Corypha hypermetra (Reichenow, 1879)
Alaudidae — Larks
Red-winged Lark, Corypha hypermetra, is a lark of equatorial eastern Africa in the family Alaudidae. Its breeding range includes Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, and it lives in dry open lowland savanna in tropical to subtropical areas. It has a scattered but broad distribution across this region. Compared with the rufous-naped lark, it is larger, with a heavier bill and a longer tail. Two subspecies are recognised, one in Ethiopia and the other from south Somalia to north-east Tanzania.
