Summary[edit]

Description
English: Botteri's Sparrow Peucaea botterii, Patagonia Lake Ranch Estates, Arizona. "That's the theory, that retained streaking after the complete preformative molt in these (Botteri's, Cassin's, Bachman's) indicates a first-year bird (SY in spring). I'd say the rather duller and paler average plumage to the streaked bird(s) compared with the adults favors this as well. Note these are formative feathers retaining juvenile characters (e.g., that the hormones that produce streaks in juvenile feathers had not entirely subsided during the first molt) rather than retained juvenile feathers" - Peter Pyle
