Where to spot

Found in a wide variety of open and semi-open habitats across eastern and central South America, including woodlands, savannas, parks, gardens, and agricultural lands.

How to spot

Look for it on the ground in open grassy areas, probing for worms and insects. Its creamy belly and yellow bill are key identification features. Listen for its varied, often loud, and somewhat disjointed song.

When to spot

Present year-round as a resident species. It is most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and late afternoon, when it actively forages.
