Spotted
The Chestnut Seedeater is a distinctive migratory species, with males showing a striking, almost entirely rich chestnut plumage, contrasting with a black face mask.
Where to spot
Breeds in humid grasslands and savannas of southern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina; winters north to central Brazil. Generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for the male's overall chestnut plumage and black facial mask. It often feeds low in grasses or perches on low shrubs. Its song is also a good identifier and helps with detection.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (austral spring/summer) when males are in full plumage and vocal, making them very conspicuous.
