The plain-backed sparrow (Passer flaveolus), also called the Pegu sparrow or olive-backed sparrow, is a sparrow found in the Asian countries of Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia.[1]
The phylogeny of the sparrows has been studied by Arnaiz-Villena et al. Nuclear mitochondrial DNA pseudogenes were found in these sparrows.[4][5]
