Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Melospiza melodia (song sparrow)
Used in	Global usage
Reason	This is a male. I didn't include it in the scope because males and females are visually indistinguishable. I only know it's a male because of its song. -- — Rhododendrites talk |
Review (criteria)	Support Useful & Used --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:29, 24 May 2022 (UTC)  Question There are many subspecies. Can this be identified? Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:16, 24 May 2022 (UTC) There are only really two it could be in this geographic area. One is far more likely than the other, but I don't know how easily they can be differentiated visually. According to the Wikipedia article, one has a grayer back, but I've not been able to find a stark difference in photos. I suppose I could put "Eastern" like Cornell does in their entry (a group of three subspecies)? — Rhododendrites talk |  12:14, 24 May 2022 (UTC) Better as it is.
