The highland lark (Corypha kurrae) is a species of small passerine bird in the lark family Alaudidae found in Africa from Guinea to west Sudan.

It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the rufous-naped lark (Corypha africana).

The highland lark was formally described in 1923 by the British Admiral Hubert Lynes based on a specimen collected near Kurra in the Darfur region of southwest Sudan.

He considered it to be a subspecies of the rufous-naped lark and coined the trinomial name Mirafra africana kurrae.

[1][2] The highland lark is now treated as a separate species and placed in the genus Corypha based on the results of two molecular phylogenetic studies by a team of ornithologists led by Per Alström that were published in 2023 and 2024.
