White-throated Sparrow

Zonotrichia albicollis

Named for the crisp white patch on its throat, and its scientific name albicollis says the same in Latin: 'white-necked.' The first half, Zonotrichia, means 'banded hair,' for the stripes on its head.

Zonotrichia is Greek for 'banded hair' (the striped head); albicollis is Latin for 'white-throated.'
