Yes, Nestor... with the thin, uncurved bill, I'd say it's an Oriental Skylark ( Alauda gulgula). Big congrats! Where was it taken (general area only)? For reference, here's an Oriental Skylark from Malasi lake:  And a Singing Bushlark ( Mirafra javanica) from the same place... note the difference in shape of bill.  Romy |

Yes, Romy you are right. With Lark sp. always compare first the bill length, thickness, curvature of culmen (culmen = the upper mandibular edge when seen on profile).
