The timberline sparrow (Spizella breweri taverneri) is a taxonomically controversial American sparrow. Usually treated as a subspecies of Brewer's sparrow, it is considered a distinct species Spizella taverneri by some authorities.[ who?] While the timberline sparrow recognizably differs in some details, there is little reproductive isolation between the taxa.[ citation needed]
When it was still considered a species, it was listed as being of least concern by the IUCN. [1]
