emberizidae
Emberizidae is a large family of passerine birds, also known as the bunting family. They are seed-eating birds with a distinctively shaped bill, typically found in the Americas, and they include species like the sparrows, juncos, and towhees. Although many species in this family were reclassified into the family Passerellidae, the name Emberizidae is sometimes still used in a broader sense to refer to both families.

Emberizidae
Emberizidae is a large family of passerine birds, which are typically known as buntings in the Old World and sparrows in the New World. They are seed-eating birds with a distinctively finch-like bill. In Europe, most species are called buntings. In North America, most of the species in this family are known as sparrows, but these birds are not closely related to the sparrows, the family Passeridae. The family also includes the North American birds known as juncos and towhees. The Emberizidae family probably originated in South America and spread first into North America before crossing into eastern Asia and continuing to move west. This explains the comparative paucity of emberizid species in Europe and Africa when compared to the Americas. As with several other passerine families the taxonomic treatment of this family's members is currently in a state of flux. Many genera in South and Central America are in fact more closely related to several different tanager clades, and at least one tanager genus may belong here in the Emberizidae.
