The White-throated Towhee is a distinctive ground-sparrow, characterized by its bright white throat contrasting sharply with its dark head and streaked body. It is found in dry, rocky habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to southwestern Mexico, primarily in Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Puebla. It inhabits arid and semi-arid scrub, thorn forest, and dry pine-oak woodlands, often on rocky slopes.
How to spot
Look for its stark white throat bordered by black, which is its most definitive identification mark. Its back is streaked brown, and its underparts are buffy. Listen for its distinctive, often harsh, call notes.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its restricted range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, often seen foraging on the ground.

This towhee's bold white throat serves as a striking visual signal, especially when it vocalizes from a prominent perch.
