      I agree! At first I thought that it was Passer domesticus and that the special features were because of being an island varation but in fact it is another species :-) Posted 5 years ago

The Spanish sparrow

The Spanish sparrow or willow sparrow is a passerine bird of the sparrow family Passeridae. It is found in the Mediterranean region and south-west and central Asia. It is very similar to the closely related house sparrow, and the two species show their close relation in a "biological mix-up" of hybridisation in the Mediterranean region, which complicates the taxonomy of this species.
