The Black-eared Sparrow-lark is a small, sexually dimorphic lark; males display striking black-and-white patterning on the face and breast while females are more subdued brown-streaked. It inhabits arid scrublands, dry grasslands, and Karoo vegetation of southern Africa, particularly Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. It forages on the ground for seeds and insects, often gathering in flocks outside the breeding season.
