American sparrows are a group of mainly New World passerine birds, forming part of the family Emberizidae. American sparrows are seed-eating birds with conical bills, brown or gray in color, and many species have distinctive head patterns. Although they share the name sparrow, American sparrows are more closely related to Old World buntings (which are also in the family Emberizidae) than they are to the Old World sparrows (family Passeridae). American sparrows are also similar in both appearance and habit to finches, with which they sometimes used to be classified. ==Species in taxonomic order== Genus ''Arremon'' (approx 20 species) Genus ''Arremonops'' * Olive sparrow, ''Arremonops rufivirgatus'' * Tocuyo sparrow, ''Arremonops tocuyensis'' * Green-backed sparrow, ''Arremonops chloronotus'' * Black-striped sparrow, ''Arremonops conirostris'' Genus ''Melozone'' * Rusty-crowned ground sparrow, ''Melozone kieneri'' * Prevost's ground sparrow, ''Melozone biarcuatum'' * White-eared ground sparrow, ''Melozone leucotis'' * Brown towhees: * * California towhee, ''Melozone crissalis'' * * Canyon towhee, ''Melozone fuscus'' * * Abert's towhee, ''Melozone aberti'' * * White-throated towhee, ''Melozone albicollis'' Genus ''Pipilo'' * Green-tailed towhee, ''Pipilo chlorurus'' * Collared towhee, ''Pipilo ocai'' * Rufous-sided towhees: * * Eastern towhee, ''Pipilo erythrophthalmus'' * * Spotted towhee, ''Pipilo maculatus'' * * *Olive-backed towhee, ''Pipilo maculatus macronyx'' * * Socorro towhee, ''Pipilo socorroensis'' Genus ''Peucaea'' * Bridled sparrow, ''Peucaea mystacalis'' * Black-chested sparrow, ''Peucaea humeralis'' * Stripe-headed sparrow, ''Peucaea ruficauda'' * Cinnamon-tailed sparrow, ''Peucaea sumichrasti'' * Rufous-winged sparrow, ''Peucaea carpalis'' * Bachman's sparrow, ''Peucaea aestivalis'' * Cassin's sparrow, ''Peucaea cassinii'' Genus ''Aimophila'' * Stripe-capped sparrow, ''Aimophila strigiceps'' * Tumbes sparrow, ''Aimophila stolzmanni'' * Rufous-crowned sparrow, ''Aimophila ruficeps'' * Oaxaca sparrow, ''Aimophila notosticta'' * Botteri's sparrow, ''Aimophila botterii'' * Rusty sparrow, ''Aimophila rufescens'' Genus ''Oriturus'' * Striped sparrow, ''Oriturus superciliosus'' Genus ''Torreornis'' * Zapata sparrow, ''Torreornis inexpectata'' Genus ''Spizelloides'' * American tree sparrow, ''Spizelloides arborea'' Genus ''Spizella'' * Chipping sparrow, ''Spizella passerina'' * Clay-colored sparrow, ''Spizella pallida'' * Brewer's sparrow, ''Spizella breweri'' * * Timberline sparrow, ''Spizella breweri taverneri'' * Field sparrow, ''Spizella pusilla'' * Worthen's sparrow, ''Spizella wortheni'' * Black-chinned sparrow, ''Spizella atrogularis'' Genus ''Pooecetes'' * Vesper sparrow, ''Pooecetes gramineus'' Genus ''Chondestes'' * Lark sparrow, ''Chondestes grammacus'' Genus ''Amphispiza'' * Black-throated sparrow, ''Amphispiza bilineata'' * Five-striped sparrow, ''Amphispiza quinquestriata'' Genus ''Artemisiospiza'' * Bell's sparrow, ''Artemisiospiza belli'' * Sagebrush sparrow, ''Artemisiospiza nevadensis'' Genus ''Calamospiza'' * Lark bunting, ''Calamospiza melanocorys'' Genus ''Passerculus'' * Savannah sparrow, ''Passerculus sandwichensis'' * * Ipswich sparrow, ''Passerculus sandwichensis princeps'' * Large-billed sparrow, ''Passerculus rostratus'' Genus ''Ammodramus'' * Seaside sparrow, ''Ammodramus maritimus'' * * Dusky seaside sparrow, ''Ammodramus maritimus nigrescens'' (extinct, 1987) * Nelson's sparrow, ''Ammodramus nelsoni'' * Saltmarsh sparrow, ''Ammodramus caudacutus'' * Le Conte's sparrow, ''Ammodramus leconteii'' * Henslow's sparrow, ''Ammodramus henslowii'' * Baird's sparrow, ''Ammodramus bairdii'' * Grasshopper sparrow, ''Ammodramus savannarum'' * Grassland sparrow, ''Ammodramus humeralis'' * Yellow-browed sparrow, ''Ammodramus aurifrons'' Genus ''Passerella'' * Fox sparrow, ''Passerella iliaca'' * * Red fox sparrow, ''Passerella (iliaca) iliaca'' * * Sooty fox sparrow, ''Passerella (iliaca) unalaschcensis'' * * Slate-colored fox sparrow, ''Passerella (iliaca) schistacea'' * * Thick-billed fox sparrow, ''Passerella (iliaca) megarhyncha'' Genus ''Xenospiza'' * Sierra Madre sparrow, ''Xenospiza baileyi'' Genus ''Melospiza'' * Song sparrow, ''Melospiza melodia'' * Lincoln's sparrow, ''Melospiza lincolnii'' * Swamp sparrow, ''Melospiza georgiana'' Genus ''Zonotrichia'' * White-crowned sparrow, ''Zonotrichia leucophrys'' * White-throated sparrow, ''Zonotrichia albicollis'' * Golden-crowned sparrow, ''Zonotrichia atricapilla'' * Rufous-collared sparrow, ''Zonotrichia capensis'' * Harris's sparrow, ''Zonotrichia querula'' Genus ''Junco'' * Dark-eyed junco, ''Junco hyemalis'' * * White-winged junco, ''Junco (hyemalis) aikeni'' * Yellow-eyed junco, ''Junco phaeonotus'' * Guadalupe junco, ''Junco insularis'' * Volcano junco, ''Junco vulcani'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American sparrow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
