Taxonomy
The collared lark was formerly placed in the genus Mirafra. It is one of three species that were moved to the resurrected genus Amirafra based on the results of a large molecular genetic study by the Swedish ornithologist Per Alström and collaborators that was published in 2023.[3][4] The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[3]
