     Any one numerous species of singing birds of the genus
     Alauda and allied genera (family Alaudid[ae]). They
     mostly belong to Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. In
     America they are represented by the shore larks, or horned
     larks, of the genus Otocoris. The true larks have
     holaspidean tarsi, very long hind claws, and, usually, dull,
     sandy brown colors.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The European skylark, or lark of the poets ({Alauda
           arvensis), is of a brown mottled color, and is noted
           for its clear and sweet song, uttered as it rises and
           descends almost perpendicularly in the air. It is
           considered a table delicacy, and immense numbers are
           killed for the markets. Other well-known European
           species are the crested, or tufted, lark ({Alauda
           cristata), and the wood lark ({Alauda arborea}). The
           pipits, or titlarks, of the genus Anthus (family
           Motacillid[ae]) are often called larks. See Pipit.
           The American meadow larks, of the genus Sturnella,
           are allied to the starlings. See Meadow Lark. The
           Australian bush lark is Mirafra Horsfieldii. See
           Shore lark.
