Spotted
The Short-tailed Finch is a small, relatively plain finch-like bird with an olive-brown back, grayish head, and yellowish underparts, characterized by its noticeably short tail.
Where to spot
High-altitude puna grassland and rocky slopes of the Andes in Bolivia and northern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground or in low vegetation in open, high-altitude environments. The short tail is the most useful field mark.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the day.

Its very short tail is a key feature that helps distinguish it from other high-Andean finches, giving it a somewhat squat appearance.
