Spotted
The Ruddy-breasted Seedeater is a widespread small seedeater, with males displaying a reddish-chestnut breast and belly. It is a common inhabitant of grassy areas.
Where to spot
Widespread across open grasslands, savannas, and pastures in Central and South America, from southern Mexico south to Argentina, generally below 1,500 meters.
How to spot
Look for the male's ruddy breast. It's tiny, so good binoculars are helpful. Often seen in grassy fields, sometimes alongside other seedeaters. Listen for its simple, buzzy song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. More vocal and brightly colored during the breeding season, making them easier to spot.

This is one of the smallest seedeater species, often overlooked due to its diminutive size and habit of foraging low in grasses, but its distinct color makes males stand out.
