Corypha
- Rufous-naped Lark Corypha africana
The Rufous-naped Lark is a large lark whose rusty wings show in flight. Pairs live in grassland and savanna, and the bird is conspicuous singing in spring and summer.
- Cape Clapper Lark Corypha apiata
In southwestern and western South Africa, the older broad treatment of Corypha apiata recorded a grayer population. A wing-clapping display flight is also reported.
- Sentinel Lark Corypha athi
The Sentinel Lark ranges from central Kenya to northeastern Tanzania. Nairobi-area observers describe birds singing for long periods from prominent perches.
- Eastern Clapper Lark Corypha fasciolata
This lark uses open grassland in southern Africa. Rufous tones are usual across much of its range, while birds in northern Namibia and northern Botswana are paler.
- Red-winged Lark Corypha hypermetra
A 2024 taxonomic study places the nominate form from southern Somalia through Kenya to north-eastern Tanzania, and subspecies gallarum in Ethiopia. It cautions that range boundaries remain uncertain and separates the Kidepo form as another species.
- Kidepo Lark Corypha kidepoensis
The Kidepo Lark lives in dry grassland around north-eastern Uganda. It searches for insects on the ground, and a rufous panel shows on the wing in flight.
- Plateau Lark Corypha nigrescens
This lark is very localized on high plateaus in Tanzania and Malawi. Its natural history is poorly documented.
- Plains Lark Corypha kabalii
A lark recorded around Minyanya Plain and western Balovale in northwestern Zambia. A study observed a male clapping its wings while singing.
- Highland Lark Corypha kurrae
A lark with a fragmented range across higher ground from West Africa to Sudan. The appearance and behavior described here are limited to the bamendae subspecies documented in the paper.
- Russet Lark Corypha sharpii
Russet Lark is a lark of Somalia. A 2024 taxonomic study describes deep russet upperparts with dark markings.
- Somali Lark Corypha somalica
The Somali Lark is a lark distributed in Somalia. It is about 19–22 cm long and weighs 44–50 g; the account includes recordings from the Tuuyo and Saraar plains in northern Somalia.
