The Band-tailed Seedeater is a common and widespread species of the Andes, known for its distinctive white band across the tail, visible in flight.
Where to spot
High Andes from Colombia south to Argentina and Chile, found in puna grasslands, agricultural areas, and open shrubby slopes, typically between 1,800 and 4,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for the white band on its tail, especially noticeable in flight, which is its key identifying feature. It often forages on the ground in open areas. Listen for its soft, buzzy calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Large flocks are common in the non-breeding season, making them more conspicuous. Best seen during daylight hours.

This seedeater often forms large mixed-species flocks outside the breeding season, moving across high-altitude grasslands and agricultural areas, making them easily observed in groups.
