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]
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.
