Cape Sparrow
(Passer melanurus)

This section is still under construction! Although mostly functional, there is still plenty of information missing and many images are waiting to be added. We are working as quickly as we can...
The male is the only sparrow in the region with a black head and distinctive white "C" extending from eye to ear coverts and down the neck.
The female has plain - not streaked - upper parts, pale greyish crown and nape and pale crescent on the head.
Juveniles are duller than females.
