The Grey Seedeater is a subtly colored species with a predominantly gray plumage, found in open, grassy habitats across northern South America.
Where to spot
Open grasslands, savannas, and shrubby areas in northern South America, from Colombia and Venezuela east to the Guianas and northern Brazil, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for its overall grey plumage. It often forages on the ground in grassy areas or perches on low vegetation. Listen for its soft, clear song to help locate it.
When to spot
Year-round resident. More vocal during the breeding season, when males are actively defending territories.
