Sykes's Lark (Galerida deva) is a species of lark found in the dry open country of peninsular India. Its distribution is manly restricted to Central India, although stray records have been found elsewhere in India. It is identified by its prominent crest and its overall rufous colouration. It has streaks on its breast which are less prominent than those found in the Oriental Skylark.
