The Spanish Sparrow (Passer hispaniolensis) in Pakistan is a small bird, similar in appearance to the house sparrow but with distinguishing features such as a chestnut crown and a black throat patch in males. Females lack these markings and are typically duller in coloration.

Spanish Sparrows are primarily found in the northern and western regions, including Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan provinces. They inhabit a variety of habitats ranging from agricultural lands to urban areas, often coexisting with human settlements.
Spanish Sparrows exhibit social behavior, often forming small flocks outside of the breeding season. They forage for seeds, grains, and insects on the ground or in low vegetation. During the breeding season, males engage in courtship displays to attract females. Nesting sites are typically in shrubs, trees, or man-made structures. Despite their adaptability, they face threats from habitat loss and competition with other bird species. Conservation efforts are essential to ensure their continued presence in Pakistan.
