Prevost's Ground-Sparrow in compost pile at Hotel Bougainvillea on 17 March 2007. With distinctive facial markings, the Costa Rican form of this ground-sparrow (Melozone cabanisi) may be different from the form occurring in north Central America (Melozone biarcuatum), from which it is separated geographically by a wide gap. Also called White-faced Ground-Sparrow.
