What kind of Sparrow is this? UK (1 Viewer)

A House Sparrow?

It's appreciably cleaner and buffer in appearance than the other female House Sparrows.

Image 3 is a compilation of the same bird.

Hi,

I'd say the bird's a leucistic House Sparrow. The size and structure and patterning seem the same as the other female House Sparrows, the paler wash to the overall plumage and the very pale tail suggest to me that it's a leucistic individual. Have you heard it call?

Cheers.

Thank you Corvus :t:.

I haven't heard it call (I will try).
