thumb|left|Bird in flight at Wakkerstroom, South Africa Formerly, some authorities have classified Rudd's lark as belonging to the genus Mirafra.[3] Previously, some authorities have also considered Archer's lark to be a subspecies of Rudd's lark (as Heteromirafra ruddi archeri). Alternate names for Rudd's lark include long-clawed lark, Rudd's long-clawed lark and South African long-clawed lark. The name "long-clawed lark" has been used to describe both Rudd's lark and Archer's lark.[3][4]
