The Red-crested Finch is a vibrant species known for the male's striking red erectile crest, contrasting with a grey body. It inhabits dry woodlands and scrub.
Where to spot
Dry woodlands, scrub, and forest edges in northern and eastern South America, from Colombia and Venezuela east to Brazil, generally below 1,500 meters.
How to spot
Look for the male's bright red crest. It often forages on the ground in leaf litter or in low bushes. Listen for its quiet, often buzzy calls, which can help in detection.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Males are most active and display their crests during the breeding season, making them more conspicuous.
