Black-chested Sparrow (Peucaea humeralis)
About the Black-chested Sparrow
The black-chested sparrow (Peucaea humeralis) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is endemic to Mexico. The black-chested sparrow was formally described in 1851 with the binomial Haemophila humeralis. It was later reassigned to genus Aimophila. Genus Peucaea had earlier been merged into Aimophila; in 2010 taxonomic systems began restoring Peucaea to generic status and moved the black-chested sparrow and several other species from Aimophila to it. The black-chested sparrow is monotypic.
