Short primary projection, shorter than any Eurasian I have pictures of, and fine bill, why not Oriental? The same or a very similar individual still present at Long Valley this afternoon.

I would think this latter bird is Eurasian Skylark. The tertials are worn, which increases the apparent primary projection, but even allowing for this the primary projection looks too long for Oriental.
