Rufous-capped Lark

Amirafra rufocinnamomea

The Rufous-capped Lark is a small passerine bird found in the grasslands and savannas of Africa. It is characterized by its rufous crown and nape, contrasting with a white throat and belly. The upperparts are sandy brown with intricate streaks, and the tail is long and pointed. This lark is known for its melodious song, often delivered from a low perch or during an aerial display. It forages on the ground for seeds and insects, and nests in a shallow scrape on the ground. The Rufous-capped Lark is a delightful sight and sound in its grassland habitat.
