Very large sparrow. Eastern 'Red' populations (P. iliaca iliaca) have rufous markings on a gray face, rufous coloring on the back, wings and tail, large dark spots on the breast and flanks.
Mixed pine/hardwood forest; most of the hardwoods are still understory sized with mixed bushes creating a thicket. Located in Coastal Plain along the Savannah River.
