Beesley's Lark
Chersomanes beesleyi
A sociable upright lark with a short decurved bill and a diagnostic short white-tipped tail. The upperparts are dark and scaly; the throat and eyebrow are paler than the warm ear patch and buffy underparts. Resident in treeless short-grass plains in two very restricted patches of habitat of less than ten square kilometers each in the rain shadow of Mt. Meru, where small groups of 3–6 forage for invertebrates and seeds. Flies low with a bobbing flight pattern, generally for only short distances before dropping suddenly to the ground. Calls include a characteristic quavering trill “trrrri-trrri-trrri-trrri” and other soft contact calls.

The body is mostly green with a small red patch on the forehead (just between the eyes), wings, and at the base of the outer tail feathers.
