Species of bird
The Turkestan short-toed lark (Alaudala heinei) is a species of
lark in the family
Alaudidae. It is found in
Ukraine and central
Turkey through parts of
Central Asia and southern
Siberia west to south-central
Mongolia and south to southern
Afghanistan.
[1] This species and the
Mediterranean short-toed lark (A. rufescens) were formerly considered conspecific and called the
lesser short-toed lark, but a 2020 study recovered them as distinct species.
