The Burma lark reaches a body length of about 15 centimeters, of which 3.9 to 5.1 centimeters are on the tail. The length of the beak is 1.4 to 1.63 centimeters measured from the skull. There is no noticeable sexual dimorphism, although the males are slightly larger than the females.

The upper body plumage is grey-brown...
