Benguela long-billed lark

The Benguela long-billed lark (Certhilauda benguelensis), also known as the Benguela lark or Benguela longbill is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae. It is found in south-western Africa. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.

Taxonomy and systematics
The Benguela long-billed lark was originally placed in the genus Alaemon. Confusingly, the terms Damara longbill and Damaraland long-billed lark are used for both the Karoo long-billed lark and a subspecies of the Benguela long-billed lark. Clements lumps this bird with the Karoo long-billed lark.
