      Any one of numerous species of small singing birds belonging
      to {Anthus} and allied genera, of the family
      {Motacillid[91]}. They strongly resemble the true larks in

               lark, is {Anthus Pensilvanicus}. The Western species
               ({A. Spraguei}) is called the {American skylark}, on
               account of its musical powers.
