Lark, Large-billed

[Neil Crawford]

Stony grassland with antheaps near East-Somerset in February.
The closest I can find in Sasol is the striped pipit, but it's a bit out of that area, any ideas?

I just had an idea, how about a Large-billed(southern thickbilled) lark instead of a pipit? It has a yellow base to the bill.

I concur on that.

PS: There appears to be an error in the links: Clicking on Lark, Karoo Longbilled brings up Lark, Largebilled as topic???
