A large, robust rusty lark with a short crest, hefty bill, and prominent rufous wing panel that is obvious in flight. Pairs are resident in open grassland and grassy savanna. It is most conspicuous when it perches up singing a sweet, simple song of 2-3 whistled notes such as “treee-treeloo”. The similar Red-winged Lark is larger than Sentinel Lark and less compact, with a longer tail and blackish patches on the sides of the neck.
