  This is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in southern Asia.


The Bengal bush lark is short-tailed and has a strong stout bill. It is not as long as the skylark, measuring about 15 centimetres in length. It is dark-streaked grey above, and buff below, with spotting on the breast and behind the eye. The wings are rufous.

The song of the Bengal bush lark is a repetition of thin disyllabic notes, delivered in a song-flight.
