The Buffy-fronted Seedeater is a rare and threatened species, recognizable by its distinctive buffy forehead and patterned plumage. It inhabits humid forest edges.

Where to spot

Localized in humid montane forests and forest edges with bamboo, primarily in southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina, typically between 500 and 1,500 meters.

How to spot

Focus on forest edges and clearings where bamboo is abundant. Its buffy forehead is a key field mark. Listen for its quiet, distinctive calls, which may be the only way to detect it.

When to spot

Year-round resident, but difficult to find due to rarity and secretive nature. Best observed by patient searching.

This species is often associated with bamboo forests, much like Temminck's Seedeater, and its population has suffered due to habitat loss and degradation of these specialized ecosystems.
