A streaky brown lark famed for its prolonged, high song-flight over open country, classed as rare/accidental in Borneo far south of its normal wintering range.
Feeds on the ground on seeds and insects and rarely perches above ground level, making any Bornean occurrence a notable record for the checklist.
