Seen in large flocks at dusk on old camp-grounds, roads, 
or grassy plains. 
[The young bird is brown, like the adult female, but is 
mottled with ashy margins to the feathers, as in the Larks 
of the genus Alauda ; these margins are very distinct on the 
wing-coverts, and the edges of the primaries and tail-feathers 
are decidedly rufous. The feathers of the chest and flanks 
are mottled with dusky sub-terminal spots.—R. B. S.]
