Spotted
The Blackish-blue Seedeater is a small, shy, and specialized species found in southeastern South America, with males exhibiting a dark bluish-black plumage. It's another bamboo specialist.
Where to spot
Found in scattered bamboo thickets within humid lowland and montane forests of southeastern Brazil, northeastern Argentina, and eastern Paraguay.
How to spot
Search in dense bamboo stands, often at forest edges or clearings. They are very secretive, so quiet observation, patience, and careful listening for their quiet calls are necessary.
When to spot
A resident species, but its presence can be unpredictable due to its reliance on bamboo flowering. Best observed when bamboo is seeding.

This seedeater is known to respond well to "pishing" or playback, which can sometimes lure it out of its dense bamboo cover for a brief sighting.
