Chondestes grammacus
I spotted this lark sparrow during my visit through South Dakota. This is a first spotting for me of a lark sparrow. This sparrow has a long, rounded tail with prominent white corners. The adult has a distinctive harlequin face pattern of black, white, and chestnut. Bright white underparts marked only with dark central breast spot.
Prairies, roadsides, farms, open woodlands. This sparrow was spotted in on open field near the campground in the Badlands of South Dakota.
