The Lesser Grass-finch is a smaller relative of the Wedge-tailed Grass-finch, characterized by its streaky plumage and preference for humid grasslands and marshy areas.
Where to spot
Humid grasslands and marshy savannas in southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for it in tall, dense grass. It can be hard to spot, so listening for its song or flushing it from cover may be necessary. Note its relatively smaller size compared to its wedge-tailed relatives.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the breeding season when males are more vocal and may perch more conspicuously.
