About

The pectoral sparrow (Arremon taciturnus) is a small species of New World sparrow first described in 1779 by Georges-Louis Leclerc. It has two subspecies. Like other sparrows in its family Arremon, it has pale green-to-olive wings, a distinctive black band going across its breast (in subspecies nigrirostris the band is not continuous and instead breaks in the center).
