博氏草鵐

博氏麻雀（學名：Peucaea botterii）是一種中型麻雀。

這種雀形目鳥類主要分布於墨西哥，其繁殖範圍延伸至美國亞利桑那州的東南端，並在德州南部的格蘭德河谷有一個小型的非遷徙性族群，該族群正受到棲地喪失的威脅。

由於過度放牧，1890年代至20世紀中期之間，在亞利桑那州並未發現其蹤跡；如今，由於植被恢復，牠們在亞利桑那州的分布範圍內已成為局部常見的鳥類。幼鳥在離巢期間顯然需要茂密的植被來躲藏；牠們偏好不常見的原生植物大囊穎草（Sporobolus wrightii），但也會成功利用引進的非原生植物，如雷曼氏畫眉草（Eragrostis lehmanniana）和波爾畫眉草（E. curvula var. conferta），儘管在這些區域的族群密度較低。

該物種的名稱是為了紀念鳥類學家馬泰奧·博泰里（Matteo Botteri, 1808–1877）。
