Green-backed Sparrow (Arremonops chloronotus)
About the Green-backed Sparrow
The green-backed sparrow (Arremonops chloronotus) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is found in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. The green-backed sparrow was formally described in 1861 with the binomial Embernagra chloronatus. Eventually it was reassigned to genus Arremonops that Robert Ridgway erected in 1896, and for much of the first half of the twentieth century it was treated as conspecific with A. conirostris, now called the black-striped sparrow. The green-backed sparrow has two subspecies, the nominate A. c. chloronotus (Salvin, 1861) and A. c. twomeyi (Monroe, BL, 1963).
