Bengal Bushlark
The Bengal bush lark (''Mirafra assamica'') or Bengal lark is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in southern Asia. Taxonomy and systematics The differences within the genus ''Mirafra'' are often very subtle and confusing with many differences apparent only when specimens are examined in hand. The Bengal bush lark was earlier classified into several races, the Bengal race ''assamica'' and the Madras race ''affinis''. These were subsequently split, on the basis of diagnostic song and display characters, into the Jerdon's bush lark (''Mirafra affinis'') and ''assamica'' in the strict sense. Formerly, both the Burmese bush lark and Jerdon's bush lark were considered subspecies of the Bengal bush lark (as ''M. a. microptera'' and ''M. a. affinis'' respectively) until split to form a separate species.
