Preparing to be mocked now, one of the Short-toed group for one, Oriental Skylark for two, the last one looks like a Bushlark, Bengal?

1. Greater Short-toed Lark based on presence of obvious dark neck patches + unmarked underparts.
2 Eurasian Skylark based on combination of rather slight bill, streaked flanks and obvious pp, the latter just visible through vegetation.
3. Agree Bengal Bushlark, note rather dirty, saturated underparts, weak auricular surround, poorly marked upperparts, strong bill and very short tail.
Azan, it would assist all if you gave dates in future.

There are actually more than 10 records of Bengal Bushlark from Punjab, Pakistan.

I threw Bengal out there randomly without looking at any reference, on range alone, Indian is the expected species in Pakistan.

No, it looks fine for Bengal and that was my first impression too. There are a couple of records from Pakistan on eBird. Pakistan is of course under-watched.
