The São Francisco Sparrow is a recently recognized species within the brushfinch group, characterized by its distinctive plumage pattern and vocalizations. It is a habitat specialist found in a restricted range.
Where to spot
Endemic to a specific dry forest and caatinga habitat along the middle Rio São Francisco in Bahia, Brazil. Its distribution is quite restricted, making it a rare and localized bird.
How to spot
Its restricted range means targeted expeditions are often necessary. Look for it foraging on the ground or in low vegetation in dry, open woodland. Familiarity with its unique song is crucial for identification due to its similarity to other *Arremon* species.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its limited range. Like many sparrows, it is most active in the early morning and late afternoon.
