Eremophila alpestris
Unlike most other larks, this is a distinctive-looking species on the ground, mainly brown-grey above and pale below, with a striking black and yellow face pattern.
This was one of about a dozen Horned Larks in a snow-covered farm field.
Horned Larks are the only native lark in North America and can be found year-round in southern Michigan prairies, fields, airports, and lake shores.
