So any "beast of the field" could evolve into any other "beast of the field" without becoming a different kind?

It is apparent to me that there can be significant changes within the biosphere from generation to generation. Let me answer your question in one word based purely upon gut feeling and in the hope I understand what you are asking (Please understand that I am not speaking from a position of one who has recently perused the text of Genesis):

No.

I say that because, as I recall, the words "beasts of the field" are followed by the words "according to their kinds." And yet it may be that the grammar requires reaching back and applying the words "according to their kinds" to a range of critters that fly, or creep, or swim.

There is most definitely a distinction in Genesis between the plant and animal kingdom, so I would not predict that science will discover a certifiable connection between reefer and hyaena.

Leaving out, of course, the other kingdoms.
