Spotted
The Rusty Sparrow is a Mexican endemic, characterized by its warm rufous-brown plumage, especially on its head and back, and a relatively plain face. It is typically found in arid and semi-arid scrublands.
Where to spot
Endemic to central and southern Mexico, ranging from Jalisco to Oaxaca. It inhabits dry scrublands, thorn forests, arid pine-oak woodlands, and clearings with dense ground cover.
How to spot
Look for its overall rusty-brown coloration, especially on the crown and back, contrasting with a paler belly. It forages on or near the ground. Listen for its distinctive song, which is a series of clear, musical notes.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, and especially vocal during the breeding season.

This species is known for its sweet, clear song, which provides a melodic counterpoint to the harsh sounds of its dry, thorny habitat.
