The image under taxonomy seems a bit misplaced. Perhaps better under habitat or description?
There only really are relevant images for the behaviour section, so I just added extra photos. But I've moved it to dist/habitat and added an image of a male seen from the front to description. —

"which is sometimes merged with melanurus" Synonymised with would be more accurate, and perhaps less ambiguous.
"Instances of hybridisation with the House Sparrow,[7] the Southern Grey-headed Sparrow, and the Sudan Golden Sparrow have been reported.[27]" Infertile?
"Clutches are larger further south, and during the peak of the breeding season." Why?
New edits are nice. If the answers to my questions can't be found at all, it won't hold the promotion back, of course.

The article says, "Often birds will fly up and hover 30–60 centimetres (12–24 in) above the ground." I'm no ornithologist but they taught me in zoology school that only hummingbirds among the Aves can hover. Has that dictum changed?
