ID tip

Beesley’s Larks show some slender, decurved bills, and can be identified by their whitish napes, general structure and size, but also by their vocalizations and behavior. They have some white-fringed, scalloped upperwing coverts, and a very short tail, sporting some white-tipped rectrices and a rufuous rump. The species is sexually dimorphic, and individuals of different sexes can be told apart in the field: adult female Beesley’s Larks have bolder breast streaks in comparison to males, a darker-orange belly, and they are smaller in size.
