The russet lark (Corypha sharpii), also known as Sharpe's lark, is a species of lark in the family Alaudidae found in Somalia.

Taxonomy

The russet lark was formerly placed in the genus Mirafra. It is one of several species that were moved to the resurrected genus Corypha based on the results of a large molecular genetic study by the Swedish ornithologist Per Alström and collaborators that was published in 2023. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.
