List of New World sparrow species

The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) recognizes these 141 species in the New World sparrow family Passerellidae, distributed among 30 genera in the following sequence.[1] One extinct species, the Bermuda towhee (†), is included. Confusingly, only 70 of the 141 include "sparrow" in their name. Forty-four are called brushfinches and the remaining 27 have a variety of other names. The North American and South American classification committees of the American Ornithological Society (AOS) and the Clements taxonomy recognize fewer species, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World recognizes more, and all three also use some different common names.[2][3][4][5]

This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name and binomial.
