The Large-billed Seed Finch is a robust, dark-plumaged seedeater distinguished by its remarkably large, conical bill. It inhabits wet grasslands and marshy areas.
Where to spot
Humid grasslands, savannas, and marshy areas in northern South America, particularly in the Guianas, Venezuela, and parts of Brazil, generally below 500 meters.
How to spot
Look for its very large, stout bill and overall dark plumage. It often perches conspicuously on tall grass stalks or low shrubs. Listen for its loud, whistling song, which is easily recognized.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal in the mornings, when it is more likely to be observed.

The size of its bill is a key feature, adapted for consuming large, hard seeds, allowing it to exploit food resources unavailable to smaller-billed seedeaters.
