Half-collared Sparrow (Arremon semitorquatus)
About the Half-collared Sparrow
The half-collared sparrow (Arremon semitorquatus) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is endemic to Brazil. The half-collared sparrow was formally described in 1838 with its current binomial Arremon semitorquatus. It was long treated as a subspecies of the pectoral sparrow (A. taciturnus) but was again elevated to full species status in the early 2000s. The two are sister species. The half-collared sparrow is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 70 recordings for this species: 58 CC BY-NC-SA · 12 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
