This is definately a skylark. However which skylark is it? A useful character to separate Eurasian Skylark from Oriental Skylark is the primary projection. Form this photo, the primary tip is clearly beyound tertials which match Eurasian Skylark. Thus I think it's Eurasian (or Northern) Skylark. Gary

I think this is definitely an immature Skylark. However, I am not confident on using the primary projection to separate Oriental to Eurasian Skylark. For juveniles, that makes it even more difficult to me to separate them. HF Cheung

I think it is a Eurasian Skylark too. However, why sometimes we can't see its feature projection on the head?? Is it a characteristic for its juvenile?
