The pink-breasted lark (Calendulauda poecilosterna) or pink-breasted bushlark is a species of passerine bird in the family Alaudidae.The pink-breasted lark is estimated to have a global extent of occurrence of 560,000 km2. covering a broad range from south-eastern South Sudan and southern Ethiopia through Kenya to southern Somalia, north-eastern Tanzania and eastern Uganda.

 

Its natural habitat is dry savannah, open bush and wooded areas, in particular dry acacia and Commiphora scrub.It is generally found singly or in pairs foraging on the ground for insects and seeds. When disturbed it flies to a safe, elevated position on the branch of a tree or on the top of a bush. These are also its favoured perches for engaging in territorial song.
