songlark

songlark

bird
      either of the two species of the Australian genus Cinclorhamphus, of the songbird family Maluridae (order Passeriformes) or the subfamily Orthonychinae (see Muscicapidae). Both are drab and vaguely larklike; males of both species are much larger than females. The rufous songlark (C. mathewsi), 20 cm (8 inches) long, lives in open forests and has a lively song; the 30-centimetre (12-inch) brown, or black-breasted, songlark (C. cruralis) lives in open country, utters creaky chuckling notes, and has a flight song, as larks do.
