Ash's Lark Mirafra ashi

A chunky gray-brown lark with scaly-looking upperparts, a pink-buff mantle, and a red-brown wing panel. The pale eyebrow and buffy-white underparts are lightly streaked; the outer tail feathers are white. Rare and endangered, localized in coastal grassy plains on sand dunes with fossilized coral outcrops 80 kilometers north of Mogadishu. Vocalizations unknown. Most other larks within its range are browner or rufous on the upperparts.
