Endemic to the highlands of Ethiopia, Erlanger's lark (Calandrella blanfordi erlangeri) is named after the German ornithologist Carlo von Erlanger (1872-1904). A small passerine bird of the lark family, it is considered to be a subspecies of Blanford's lark. Alternate names include Erlanger's red-capped lark, Erlanger's short-toed lark and Ethiopian short-toed lark.
