Spotted
The Saffron-billed Sparrow is a vibrant South American bird characterized by its striking saffron-yellow bill and a neat black and white head pattern. It favors dense undergrowth in humid forests.
Where to spot
Distributed in central South America, including Bolivia, Paraguay, and central Brazil. It inhabits humid forests, gallery forests, and mature secondary growth, typically near water.
How to spot
Listen for its rich, melodious song. Look for it foraging on the ground or in low shrubs. The combination of its distinctive head pattern and bright saffron bill makes identification relatively straightforward if a clear view is obtained.
When to spot
Resident year-round. It is most active and vocal in the early morning and late afternoon.

Its brilliantly colored bill provides a strong contrast against its head, making it an unmistakable feature, even in dim forest light.
