The Chestnut-headed Sparrow-lark is a small lark known for the male's distinct chestnut-colored head and black belly. It is found in arid and semi-arid regions of East Africa.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid grasslands, open savannas, and stony plains in East Africa (e.g., Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia).
How to spot
Scan open, often barren, ground. Males are relatively easy to identify by their head and belly markings. Look for their low flight or listen for their simple calls.
When to spot
Observable year-round. More active and vocal during the wet season/breeding season.
