Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
The collared lark (Amirafra collaris) or collared bushlark is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in East Africa.[1]
Taxonomy
The collared lark was formerly placed in the genus Mirafra. It is one of three species that were moved to the resurrected genus Amirafra based on the results of a large molecular genetic study by the Swedish ornithologist Per Alström and collaborators that was published in 2023.[2][3] The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The collared lark has a considerable range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 530,000 km2 over an area from eastern Ethiopia and Somalia to central Kenya.[4]
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
