| Passer suahelicus Reichenow, 1904 |
The Swahili Sparrow (Passer suahelicus) was until recently treated as a race of Grey-headed Sparrow (Passer griseus). It lives in the savanna of southern Kenya and Tanzania. It hybridizes with the Grey-headed Sparrow in southern Tanzania and possibly elsewhere.
