songlarkArticle Free Pass songlark, either of the two species of
the Australian genus Cinclorhamphus, of the songbird family
Sylviidae. 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-cm (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. What made
