Oriental skylark (Alauda gulgula), also known as the small skylark,
eastern skylark, Indian skylark and lesser skylark.

The Oriental skylark (Alauda gulgula), also known as the small skylark, is a species of skylark found in the Sino-Indian region and parts of central Asia.

The current genus name Alauda is from Latin alauda, "lark".
The meaning of the specific epithet gulgula is uncertain but is perhaps a reference to the song as gula is Latin for "throat" or may be the color of the "gulgula" or a sweet.
