Cinnamon-tailed Sparrow (Peucaea sumichrasti)
About the Cinnamon-tailed Sparrow
The cinnamon-tailed sparrow (Peucaea sumichrasti) is a Near Threatened species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is endemic to Mexico. The cinnamon-tailed sparrow was formally described in 1871 with the binomial Haemophila sumichrasti. The specific epithet honors François Sumichrast, who collected the type specimen. It has sometimes been called "Sumichrast's sparrow". In the early twentieth century the species was reassigned to genus Aimophila. The genus Peucaea had earlier been merged into Aimophila; in 2010 taxonomic systems began restoring Peucaea to generic status and moved the cinnamon-tailed sparrow and several other species from Aimophila to it. The cinnamon-tailed sparrow is monotypic.
