Southern grey-headed sparrow

The southern grey-headed sparrow (Passer diffusus) is a passerine bird of the sparrow family Passeridae. It is sometimes treated as a subspecies of the grey-headed sparrow. It is found in savanna and woodland in Angola and Zambia southwards into South Africa, where it is expanding its range^[2] and is kept as a caged bird, like its relative the white-rumped seedeater.^{[citation needed]}
