Spotted
The Lined Seedeater is a small, migratory seedeater known for the male's striking black-and-white plumage, particularly a prominent white line on the crown.
Where to spot
Breeds in northern South America (Brazil, Venezuela, Guianas); widespread migrant and winter visitor throughout the Amazon basin and southern South America. Found in open grasslands, savannas, and forest edges, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for the male's distinct white line on the crown. They often feed on grass seeds, so scan grassy fields. Listen for their clear, simple song to detect their presence.
When to spot
Best seen during the breeding season (northern summer) when males are in full breeding plumage and singing. During migration, they can be found in a wider range of habitats.

The male's bold 'lined' pattern on its head is a key identifying feature, contrasting sharply with its dark body and making it highly distinctive in the field.
