The fawn-coloured lark (Calendulauda africanoides) or fawn-coloured bush-lark is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae.
Formerly, the fawn-coloured lark was classified as belonging to the genus Mirafra until moved to Calendulauda in 2009.
They were lumped with the fawn-colored lark based on the results of a large 2024 molecular genetic study of the Alaudidae by Per Alström and collaborators that found only shallow genetic divergence.
[2][3] The range of the fawn-coloured lark is broadly spread, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 2,400,000 km2.
[1] It can be found in the countries of Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
