The Timor Sparrow is a close relative of the Java Sparrow, endemic to the islands of Timor and Semau. It shares many features with its more famous cousin but is smaller and lacks the prominent white cheek patch.
Where to spot
Endemic to the islands of Timor and Semau (Indonesia and East Timor), typically found in dry grasslands, savannas, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its similarity to the Java Sparrow, but note the lack of a large white cheek patch. Its smaller size and duller face are key identifiers. Found in open, grassy areas.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round within its native range. Often seen in flocks, particularly during the dry season when foraging for seeds.
