White-throated Towhee (Melozone albicollis)
About the White-throated Towhee
The white-throated towhee (Melozone albicollis) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is endemic to Mexico. The white-throated towhee was formally described in 1858 with the binomial Pipilo albicollis. Following a study published in 2009 the white-throated towhee and three other species were transferred from Pipilo to Melozone, a genus that had been erected in 1850. The white-throated towhee has two subspecies, the nominate M. a. albicollis (Sclater, PL, 1858) and M. a. marshalli (Parkes, 1974).
