Taxonomy and systematics
The Athi short-toed lark was originally described as belonging to the genus Spizocorys and was then classified as belonging to the genus Calandrella until moved to Alaudala in 2014.[2][3] Formerly or presently, some authorities consider the Athi short-toed lark as a subspecies of the Somali short-toed lark or of the lesser short-toed lark. Alternate names for the Athi short-toed lark include the Athi lark and Kenya short-toed lark (a name also used by the Damara pink-billed lark).
