The Plain-backed Sparrow is a relatively drab sparrow found in Southeast Asia, distinguished by its unstreaked, plain brown back. It prefers open grassy areas and cultivated fields.
Where to spot
Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and parts of Malaysia. Found in open grasslands, cultivated fields, and sparse scrubland.
How to spot
Look for its plain back, which differentiates it from other streaked sparrows. It often forages on the ground in open areas and can be found in small flocks. Listen for its simple chirping notes.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, foraging for seeds and insects.

Its plain plumage provides excellent camouflage in its preferred open, grassy habitats, helping it blend in with the dry vegetation.
