House Sparrow - Brown Mutation

Posted Vonda on Jan. 20, 2021

I spotted this interesting sparrow on our morning walk. From a distance, it looked like a fawn society finch, escaped from captivity. On closer examination, color aside, it was much more similar to a House Sparrow than a society finch. It was mixed in with a group of House Sparrows and a few American Tree Sparrows.
