Sentinel Lark
Corypha athi (Hartert, EJO, 1900)
Alaudidae — Larks
Sentinel Lark, Corypha athi, is a lark in the family Alaudidae that breeds in central and south-central Kenya and north-east Tanzania. It was first described in 1900 by Hartert from a specimen taken on the plains of the Athi River in Kenya. The bird was once placed with the rufous-naped lark, but is now treated as a separate species in Corypha. Two subspecies are recognised: C. a. athi in central Kenya to north-east Tanzania, and C. a. harterti in central south Kenya.
