- The House Sparrow is a large (14 - 17 cm) finch. It is usually seen in small to medium-sized groups, but may occur in huge numbers. The male has a conspicuous grey crown, black face and throat, and dark black and brown upperparts. The female is slightly paler than the male and lacks the grey crown and black face, instead having a pale buff eye stripe.
Young House Sparrows are similar to the adult female, but are duller with some mottling on the crown, and have a darker bill.
House sparrows successfully followed man to many parts of the world. Universally familiar in appearance the widespread and once abundant house sparrow has become a mystery bird at many localities in recent times.
