I managed to get a good photo of the maya from the Philippines. Above the photo are two photos of the common house sparrow. The two birds differ conspicuously in that the house sparrow has a grey cap on the head although there are other differences as well. However in looking at a number of photos said to be house sparrows some seem to be more like the maya. I thought that the common Philippine sparrow was called the maya maya but that is in fact a type of fish! One source I looked at identifies the maya as the European Tree Sparrow. In the second house sparrow the grey cap is very prominent more than in most sparrows I see here.
