Pectoral Sparrow

Arremon taciturnus

The Pectoral Sparrow (Arremon taciturnus) is a small passerine bird found in South America. It is known for its distinctive black and white plumage, with a chestnut-colored patch on its breast. These sparrows inhabit dense undergrowth in tropical and subtropical forests, often near water sources. They are primarily seed-eaters but also consume insects and small fruits. Pectoral Sparrows are known for their secretive nature, often staying hidden within the thick vegetation. Their populations are currently stable, but they may face threats from habitat loss and fragmentation.

Habitat: Tropical and subtropical forests near water sources
