Spotted
A small, ground-dwelling lark with streaky brown upperparts and whitish underparts, resembling other short-toed larks but distinguished by subtle plumage details and vocalizations. It has a short bill and short toes.
Where to spot
Open steppes, semi-deserts, and grasslands of Mongolia, northern China, and parts of southern Siberia for breeding. Winters in India.
How to spot
Observe foraging on the ground in open areas. Identification can be challenging due to similarity with other short-toed larks; focus on subtle plumage differences and particularly its calls.
When to spot
Breeding season (spring/summer) in its northern range; winter months (autumn/winter) in its southern range. Look for migratory flocks during spring and autumn.
