Classification: Genus Passer (Passer); Family Sparrows (Passeridae)General:
The Socotra sparrow (Passer insularis) is a passerine bird endemic to the islands of Socotra, Samhah, and Darsah in the Indian Ocean, off the Horn of Africa.[3][4] The taxonomy of this species and its relatives is complex, with some authorities, including BirdLife International, recognising this species and the very similar Abd al-Kuri sparrow, as well as several from mainland Africa, as separate,[5][6] and others lumping all these species and the probably unrelated Iago sparrow.[7]
