Alauda
- Order: Passeriformes
- Family: Alaudidae
Alauda is a genus of larks found across much of Europe, Asia and in the mountains of north Africa...
The current genus name is from Latin alauda, "lark".1/ Oriental skylark (Alauda gulgula), also known as the small skylark,
eastern skylark, Indian skylark and lesser skylark.
The meaning of the specific epithet gulgula is uncertain but is perhaps a reference to the song as gula is Latin for "throat" or may be the color of the "gulgula" or a sweet.
