The bird was a sparrow, that much was clear, but it didn’t seem to fit any of the easily boxes the other North American sparrows can be fairly easily sorted into. Superficially, it resembled the Black-chinned Sparrow of the southwestern United States with its gray chest and chestnut streaked with black back.

Let’s see if you agree: I liked some of the photos as much for their backgrounds as for the bird itself, such as this Lincoln Sparrow foraging among duckweed, algae, Ficus fruits, and Jacaranda flowers. Black-and-white Warblers are usually dapper little birds, with their head-to-tail zebra stripes. Note that shrike-like bill.

This places feels almost as if herds of zebra and giraffe are just out of view. Grassland Sparrow , Leon says excitedly.

While Common Myna , Eurasian Tree Sparrow and Zebra Dove are indeed quite common as they are everywhere else in Bangkok, large, mature fig trees dot the southern spur of the park which attract a wide variety of charismatic and less common birds.

The HBW description of the Southern Grey-headed Sparrow , a sedentary African sparrow, barely avoids using the word palish but uses plenty of other -ish adjectives: “pale ash-grey, often with brownish tinge, underparts pale grey, becoming whitish on belly and vent” Not a particular fan of that species, I guess.
