The plumage of the desert lark perfectly matches the color of the desert soil and is the best example of soil camouflage in birds. Another set of larks are desert-adapted species, ranging from the impressive thrasher-billed Greater Hoopoe-Lark Alaemon alaudipes of north Africa to west India to the various short-toed larks (genus Calandrella) who are camouflaged among arid steppes. This lark is a bird of deserts and semi-desert. Its nest is on the ground, with two eggs being laid. These are incubated by both sexes. Its food is seeds supplemented with insects in the breeding season.
