COCHEVIS HUPPE: comparaison avec le Cochevis de Thékla

Crested lark  - Cogujada común
Galerida cristata
Spain, 2017/08
Nikon: D500 + 800 mm f5/6E

 D'aspect plus "doux" que le Cochevis de Thékla, le Cochevis huppé peut néanmoins facilement se confondre avec lui mais il présente un plumage généralement plus clair et plus doré (selon les individus et leur âge), et quelques taches sur le haut du poitrail mais pas de stries; le bec est plus court.

This bird has a softer aspect than the Thekla's lark with which it can easily be confused. The plumage is generally lighter more golden and presents spots on the higher part of breast instead of streaks. Also the beak is shorter and slightly thicker.

  7. Hi Noushka,
    And what a delightful Lark, we had a talk last week at the bird club on Morocco and I hadn't realized until then how many different Larks with these slight differences existed, Great images.
    All the best, John

  10. Dearest Noushka,
    Wow, love that frontal view! It looks like it is wearing a cap and a cape...
    You are such an expert for almost telling the little details apart from a look-alike species!
    Love the way you manage to describe that in pointing out the little subtleties.
    Thanks for your time and effort in educating others!
    Hugs,
    Mariette
