Overview
The pectoral sparrow (Arremon taciturnus) is a small species of New World sparrow first described in 1779 by Georges-Louis Leclerc. It has two subspecies. Like other sparrows in its family Arremon, it has pale green-to-olive wings, a distinctive black band going across its breast, however in subspecies nigrirostris it is not continuous and instead breaks in the center. It is found throughout southeastern South America, in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
