Spotted
The Plumbeous Seedeater is a widespread small seedeater, named for the male's uniform lead-grey (plumbeous) plumage. It inhabits open grasslands.
Where to spot
Widespread across grasslands, savannas, and agricultural areas in lowlands of South America, from the Guianas and Venezuela south to Argentina, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for the male's uniform plumbeous-grey color, which is its main distinguishing feature. It feeds on grass seeds, so scan grassy areas carefully. Listen for its simple, buzzy song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Males are more vocal during the breeding season, enhancing their detectability.
