Subspecies
No subspecies.
Has been thought to form a superspecies with Pink-billed Lark (Spizocorys conirostris). In South Africa, birds from Bushmanland (c. 40 km east of Pofadder) described as subspecies theresae and others from south-eastern as capensis, but both regarded as inadequately differentiated.
