Some authors considered this species to be the same as the Iago Sparrow, and some recognise only some of the rufous sparrows as separate from the Great Sparrow, but the Handbook of the Birds of the World recognises the Socotra Sparrow, Kenya Sparrow, Kordofan Sparrow, and Shelley's Sparrow.
The Socotra Sparrow (Passer insularis) is a passerine bird endemic to the islands of Socotra, Samhah, and Darsah in the Indian Ocean, off the Horn of Africa.
