The black lark (Melanocorypha yeltoniensis) breeds in southeast Russia and Kazakhstan. It is partially migratory, with birds from the northwest of its breeding range moving south-east to winter further into Russia and neighbouring countries, as far as the northern Black Sea coasts in southern Ukraine.
This is a bird of open steppe, often near water. Its nest is on the ground, with 4–5 eggs being laid. Food is seeds and insects, the latter especially in the breeding season. It is gregarious in winter.

Black Lark is large, Starling-sized bird. Male on breeding plumage is all black often with whitish tips of feathers on upperparts, head and rare on breast. Female is whitish-brown often buffy tinged. Female color is very variable both individual and seasonally. Mostly females have typical lark coloring but the streaks are not neat and generally color is plainer. Underparts are whitish with not neat streaks which can merge and form the large brownish patches on craw-sides. Other females are motlier or darker. In autumn, after the summer molting all plumage is with broad whitish or buffy edges on feathers.

On males upperparts this edges form the solid buffy-whitish color; underparts are with narrower edges and look mottled but mostly black. During the winter the pale edges worn and males become more and more black. Female upperparts feathers have brownish shafts and broad whitish borders; females' seasonal colors also are governed by the full summer molting and the winter wearing of feathers. But seasonal differences on female aren't as appreciable as ones on males. However the autumn and winter females look very pale and inconspicuous on a snow especially on dusty one. But in the middle summer the females are usually very dark, almost brownish and almost plain. Male have black legs and yellowish on autumn, bluish on spring bill. Female legs are brown or buffy-brown, female bill is greyish-horn. Juveniles on first plumage are brownish pale mottled. After the summer molting juveniles are similar on adults.
