Gray's lark (Ammomanopsis grayi) is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is found in south-western Africa in its natural habitat of hot deserts.[2]
Taxonomy and systematics
Gray's lark was originally described as a species within the genus Alauda. It was then placed in the sister genus Ammomanes until re-classified in 2009 by the IOC into the monotypic genus Ammomanopsis.[3] Some authorities still consider the species as Ammomanes grayi.[4] Other names for Gray's lark include Gray's desert lark and Gray's sand lark.
Subspecies
Two subspecies are recognized:[5]
A. g. hoeschi - (Niethammer, 1955): Found in north-western Namibia and south-western Angola
A. g. grayi - (Wahlberg, 1855): Found in west-central and south-western Namibia
