The Indochinese bush lark (Mirafra erythrocephala) or Indochinese lark is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in southeast Asia.
Following work a decade ago by Per Alström, the Indochinese bush lark was split from the Bengal Bush Lark to form a separate species. [2]
The range of the Indochinese bush lark extends over a large swath of southeast Asia, and can be found in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos. [3]
The Indochinese bush lark is found in a variety of open-space habitats up to 900 m interspersed with trees and shrubs and has adapted to cultivated land. It also exists at forest margins, as well as thickets of bamboo. [3]
