Depends on the species, most native sparrows have little or no sexual dimorphism, while the English or house sparrow,has the male bird with a dark cap and throat patch while the female is a drab, gray brown bird. The English sparrow is an introduced European species in the U.S., and is not a true sparrow, but a Weaver Finch.

Is prike a word?

House Sparrows are 5 to 6 inches in length. The male has a gray crown, whitish check, and black throat. The bill and breast are black in summer and in winter the bill is yellow and the breast is gray.The female has a brown crown and a plain breast with a broad buff line over the eye. Be careful when identifying female House Sparrows because they may look similar to female House Finches. The female House Finch will have a stripped breast.Although misnamed English Sparrow, and commonly known as the House Sparrow, it is not particularly a native of England and is not a sparrow.
