Rufous-tailed Lark (Ammomanes phoenicura)
Rufous-tailed Lark (Ammomanes phoenicura) is a ground bird found in the drier open stony habitats. It has a large finch-like bill with a slightly curved edge to the upper mandible. The dull brown colour matches the soil as it forages for grass seeds, grain and insects. Males and females are indistinguishable in the field but during the breeding season, the male has a courtship display that involves flying up steeply and then nose-diving and pulling up in a series of stepped wavy dips accompanied by calling. They forage on the ground in pairs or small groups.
