The smallest larks are likely the Spizocorys species, which can weigh only around 14 g (0.49 oz) in species like the pink-billed lark and the Obbia lark, while the largest lark is the Tibetan lark. [15] Like many ground birds, most lark species have long hind claws, which are thought to provide stability while standing.

The red-capped lark is 14–15 cm (5.5–5.9 in) in length, with a typically upright stance. The colour of the streaked grey to brown upperparts is variable, with subspecies differing in hue and brightness, but this species is easily identified by its rufous cap, white underparts, and red shoulders.
In Europe, the bird seems most at home in the sandy heaths of Belgium, where its density was 7.5 pairs per square kilometre (km 2) in 1988. [12] In the same year, densities in East Germany ranged from 0.29 to 5.0 pairs per km 2 and between 0.1 and 0.25 pairs per km 2 in southern England , with more optimal habitats being more densely populated.
A fairly small lark, the crested lark is roughly the same size as a Eurasian skylark, but shorter overall and bulkier around the head and body, and very similar in appearance, [7] with a height of 17 cm (6.7 in) and a wingspan of 29 to 38 cm (11 to 15 in), weighing between 37 and 55 g (1.3 and 1.9 oz).

The pink-breasted lark is estimated to have a global extent of occurrence of 560,000 km 2, covering a broad range from south-eastern South Sudan and southern Ethiopia through Kenya to southern Somalia, north-eastern Tanzania and eastern Uganda.
Here’s what you might not know about the country’s top five most commonly sighted backyard birds, according to 2015 to 2021 data from Project FeederWatch, a November to April survey of birds ...
The total area in which Liben lark can be found is estimated to be only 52 km 2 (20 sq mi), largely in Ethiopia. [1] The birds have not been recorded from the Wajaale clay plains on the border of Ethiopia and Somaliland since 1922. [9] Due to habitat loss, Archer's lark has not been found in Somalia since at least 1970. [10] [11]
