World Birding Center | Bird Info - Botteri's Sparrow
Similar Species:
Very similar to Cassin’s Sparrow, another plainly marked sparrow, which is also found in coastal ecotone (coastal bunch grass dotted with mesquite and prickly pear). Differs from Cassins’s Sparrow by subtle plumage characters and structural features. Botteri’s is flatter headed and longer-billed, and also has a completely unmarked breast (Cassin’s has finely streaked breast and distinct malar). Voice and habitat are best clues.

| Botteri's Sparrow, Aimophila botterii, is a medium-sized sparrow. This passerine bird is primarily found in Mexico, with a breeding range that extends into the southeastern tip of the U.S. state of Arizona, and a small non-migratory population in the southern-most tip of Texas (which is threatened by loss of habitat). |
