Bridled Sparrow (Peucaea mystacalis)
About the Bridled Sparrow
The bridled sparrow (Peucaea mystacalis) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is endemic to Mexico. The bridled sparrow was formally described in 1852 with the binomial Zonotrichia mystacalis. During the rest of the nineteenth century it was reassigned to several genera and then in the early twentieth to genus Aimophila. Genus Peucaea had earlier been merged into Aimophila; in 2010 taxonomic systems began restoring Peucaea to generic status and moved the bridled sparrow and several other species from Aimophila to it. The bridled sparrow is monotypic.
