The black patch over neck should be the best field mark for this lark in such a unusually eastern location.

Why not an Eurasian Skylark since it has long bill?
有朋友來e-mail說覺得它像雲雀,因為它的嘴型不像百靈,至於圖中所見到的“頸 側黑斑”,認為是下體的縱紋堆積所致。
他同時認為頸側黑斑是 Greater Short-toed Lark短趾百靈的特徵,但野外通常似乎不容易看到,鳥放鬆的時候黑斑就成一條線 了,根本無法看到黑斑。
下麵這張圖是短趾百靈麼?

Just for discussion, do HKBWS need a system database on birds of China?  Right now I am support Shenzhen to work on such a database on behave of China Ornithological Society.

Thanks Ptarmigan. I am really not so confident on the identification of this bird.
 
I saw this bird together with a Eurasian Skylark, which looks bigger than this one. This bird, even when it was alert, did not raise any crest like the skylark. Maybe it is a female skylark foraging with its mate. However most bird book says sexes are alike.  
 
By the way, your link of the greater short-toed lark showed another beautiful fieldmark - long tertials covering all the primary.
