Spotted
The Pampa Finch is a large, distinctive sparrow-like bird found in the open grasslands and scrublands of southeastern South America, known for its robust build and powerful bill.
Where to spot
Grasslands, savannas, and agricultural areas of southern Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and central Argentina, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for its large size and robust bill. It often forages on the ground. Listen for its loud and distinctive song, which is a key identification clue for this species in open habitats.

This finch often perches conspicuously on fence posts or low shrubs, singing its loud, clear song that carries well across the open pampas, making it easily detectable.
