Passerellidae — New World Sparrows
Rufous-crowned Sparrow, Aimophila ruficeps, is a passerine of North America and Middle America, breeding in south-central and south-western USA and Mexico. It is a small American sparrow with a patchy range, and its populations are often separated from one another. The crown is rufous, while the face and supercilium are grey, with a brown or rufous line from each eye and a broad black malar stripe. The back is brown with darker streaking, and the underparts are grey. Twelve subspecies are usually accepted, though more have been proposed.
