The white-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) is a passerine bird of the New World sparrow family Passerellidae. The genus name Zonotrichia is from Ancient Greek ζώνη (zone, transl. band) and θρίξ (thrix, transl. hair). The specific albicollis is from Latin albus (transl. white), and collum (transl. neck). It measures 15 to 19 cm in length with a wingspan of 23 cm. Typical weight is 22 to 32 g. They are similar in appearance to the white-crowned sparrow, but with white throat markings and yellow lores.
