    Masafi Wadi - 27 April 2019 - Sparrow ID

    in Identification problems

    This sparrow was perched with a couple of House Sparrows and a male Yellow-throated Sparrow. My first thoughts were that this is a female Yellow-throated but I have been unable to find any similar images. Any advice welcome.






    Male Yellow-throated Sparrow

    Thanks, Steve
