I know it is a little bit late, but I still want to figure it out.

This photo shows two skylarks. Is the left one an Eurasian Skylark while the right is an Oriental Skylark ?

The thickness on their backs is the difference, I suppose.

Isn't it just a worn individual and a fresh one, and aren't they both Eurasian Skylarks on wing length?

Where were they photographed?

I think there is too much primary projection on both birds for either to be Oriental Skylark.
