Maghreb Lark

Maghreb Lark

Galerida macrorhyncha macrorhyncha
Aousserd, Western Sahara - January 21 2018
Close-up view on an adult Maghreb Lark standing on the ground, same bird as on previous photo. I welcome comments on the ID of these birds. There is an ongoing discussion whether these birds are Maghreb Larks or "Long-billed" Crested Larks of subspecies senegallensis here: http://www.magornitho.org/2018/02/status-long-billed-crested-larks-aousserd/
