Eremophila alpestris
Horned larks are 18 to 20 cm in length. Females have the same pattern as a male, but are smaller and have a slightly duller appearance. The male in summer has black "horns" tufts of feathers that give this species their name in North America. Known as Shore Lark in Eurasia.
Grasslands and other open areas; nests on ground.
