Male Rufous-capped Lark singing from the ground while foraging; I observed flight song by two others as well; noise reduction in Audacity to reduce severe wind noise

First two strophes, up to 0:07 are definitely from Rufous-capped Lark, one of which was singing high overhead and easily identified by shape, size and flight action; multiple birds had been seen on the ground beforehand. However, remaining song, from 0:07 onwards, is uncannily like Crested Lark. Crested Lark was present at this site but none were apparent whilst the recording was being made; I am unsure if the song from 0:07 is a genuine Crested Lark or if it is a Rufous-capped Lark giving a very good example of mimicry. As the song typical of Crested Lark is so extended (0:07 to 0:40) it seems more likely that there was an unseen Crested Lark singing too. However, the last strophe at 0:41 more resembles Rufous-capped and, when the flying Rufous-capped, which was on view the whole time, dropped and landed just afterwards, the entire song stopped. Comments welcome. High pass filter at 2000Hz/12db applied.
