The Asian Short-toed Lark is a small lark with streaks on its breast and back. It favors open, dry ground with sparse vegetation, and its appearance and range vary by region.
It has a rather short bill and tail, with distinct streaking on the breast and upperparts. The sexes are similar, and it can be difficult to separate from related short-toed larks.
It uses open, dry habitats such as steppe, saline flats, and semi-desert. In some regions it also uses dry agricultural fields.
