}} The bar-tailed lark, or bar-tailed desert lark, (Ammomanes cinctura) is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. Two other species, the rufous-tailed lark and the Cape clapper lark are both also sometimes referred to using the name bar-tailed lark. It is found from Morocco to Pakistan. Its natural habitat is hot deserts. This is in many places a common species, but elsewhere rather less common. It has a very wide distribution and faces no obvious threats, but surveys have shown that it is slowly decreasing in numbers. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern".[1] Taxonomy and systematicsThe bar-tailed lark was originally placed in the genus Melanocorypha.[2] Alternate names for the bar-tailed lark include: bar-tailed finch-lark, black-tailed desert lark, black-tailed lark, and black-tailed sand lark. SubspeciesThree subspecies are recognized:[3]
DescriptionThe bar-tailed lark is similar to the desert lark in appearance, but at {{convert|14|to|15|cm|in|1|abbr=on}}, is slightly smaller, with a smaller, more domed head, a smaller beak, thinner legs and a shorter tail. The upper parts are sandy-buff washed with grey, while the underparts are whitish with little if any streaking, and the breast and flanks washed with buff. The rufous wings have dark trailing edges and the rufous tail has a terminal black band.[5] Distribution and habitatThe bar-tailed lark has a large distribution across North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East and western Asia. Its range includes Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Cape Verde, Chad, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Western Sahara and Yemen.[1] Its typical habitat is sandy or stony desert or semi desert, with low scrubby vegetation. It is generally shier than the desert lark and has a preference for level ground whereas the desert lark tends to frequent rocky slopes and hillsides.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{IUCN|id=22717236 |title=Ammomanes cinctura |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q1584207}}{{DEFAULTSORT:lark, bar-tailed}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/species.jsp?avibaseid=20A0844D8FB86C1F|title=Ammomanes cinctura - Avibase|website=avibase.bsc-eoc.org|access-date=2016-11-18}} 3. ^{{Cite journal|title=IOC World Bird List 6.4|url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/ioc-lists/crossref|journal=IOC World Bird List Datasets|doi=10.14344/ioc.ml.6.4}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|author1=Mark Beaman|author2=Steve Madge|title=The Handbook of Bird Identification: For Europe and the Western Palearctic |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p968cQkfSroC&pg=PA541 |year=1998 |publisher=Christopher Helm |isbn=978-0-7136-3960-5 |page=541}} 8 : Ammomanes|Birds of Cape Verde|Birds of North Africa|Birds of the Middle East|Birds of Afghanistan|Birds of Pakistan|Birds described in 1839|Taxonomy articles created by Polbot |
