Media notes
High pass filter at 100 Hz used. This is two recordings. I am uncertain about the identification. They were recorded by my son, Riley. As I recall he was recording a lark singing as it was flying at (7:56 AM and 7:59 AM) and then I took pictures of it still flying and singing at 8:01 AM. We announced on the recording that it was a Red-capped Lark but I did not know the larks well. The one flying appears to be a Rufous-naped Lark (pictures of flying lark in this checklist). It is possible though that he was recording a different lark on the ground. I am working up these recordings about 9 months after they were recorded so I am just not sure. With help of eBirder Stratton Hatfield, this was identified as a White-tailed Lark.
Observation details
I had first put these pictures and recording as Rufous-naped Lark. But on review of eBird reviewer Stratton Hatfield this was identified as a White-tailed Lark. My son Riley was recording this and I was photographing the bird at the same time. Jan 25,2020 eBird reviewer James Bradley informed me that this is now called the Latakoo Lark based on some new research.
