Appearance
''M. affinis'' has arrowhead like spots pointing upwards on the breast. It is very similar to the Indian bush lark but has buffy lores, less white behind ear coverts, darker center to wing coverts and central tail feathers. Dark centers of primary coverts are prominent, and wing panels are duller and rufous. In the southern Western Ghats, the race ''ceylonensis'' is darker and more rufous on the underside and has a longer bill.
Habitat
It has proven adaptable to a variety of open habitats up to a maximum elevation of 1500 m. Some of these are forest perimeters, rocky scrubland, scrubby hill meadows and clearings in open-type forests, shrub-edged unused croplands, and thickets of bamboo.References:
