See text The flappet lark (Amirafra rufocinnamomea) is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae that is widespread across Sub-Saharan Africa.

The name flappet originates from the distinctive wing flapping sound made during its breeding season.

It is one of three species that were moved to the resurrected genus Amirafra based on the results of a large molecular genetic study by the Swedish ornithologist Per Alström and collaborators that was published in 2023.

[5][6] Fifteen subspecies are recognised:[5] The flappet lark has a large range covering much of the African continent with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 10,000,000 km2.
