After our lenghty lark discussion on elsewhere yesterday, I consider this one a fawn-coloured lark as well and it seems quite similar to yours, nan. :-?

This one is also a Sabota Lark :

But I also have a identification problem with a Lark, seen at Mkhuze in April last year. Is it a Sabota or a Flappet or still another one according to you ?

They are most likely all Sabota larks. The long white eyebrow doesn't lie ;-)
