Galerida magnirostris
± 12 cm bird - mostly browns
Arid semi-dessert area in the Tankwa National Park.
Thick bill with a yellow base to the lower mandible is a characteristic of the large-billed lark.
That is a valid point Johan. I think you are right with Grey-backed Cisticola. Vreeslik dankie!
In the Robert's Bird Guide I use, there is a distribution chart/map showing where the birds are distributed. The Rufous-naped Lark is only shown in the eastern half of South Africa.
I am thoroughly confused... so close! http://www.flickr.com/photos/21968724@N0...
