In Pikmin Z
The Swooping Sparrowhead is a flying carnivore appearing in Pikmin Z. It has a rounded body with two sets of insect wings, similar to an average Sparrowhead, but as large as a Breadbug. Their behavior resembles that of the real-world : it hovers over its target and then grabs it with its beak, afterward flying out of reach to eat its capture. Its diet consists of prey smaller than itself, and it is sometimes caught by Flytrap Chrysanthemums, its main predator.

Swooping Sparrowheads are best dealt with by Yellow Pikmin and Clover Pikmin, as both Pikmin are the only types to reach a Swooping Sparrowhead during flight. It will pause for a moment before it flies to attack, so strike it down first so it falls to the ground, then swarm it before it flies out of reach.
