Spotted
The White-bellied Seedeater is a small seedeater characterized by its prominent white belly, which contrasts with its darker upperparts. It inhabits humid grasslands and savannas.
Where to spot
Humid grasslands, savannas, and marshy areas in central and eastern South America (Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina), generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for its contrasting white belly, a key identification feature. It often feeds on grass seeds, so scan grassy areas. Listen for its soft, reedy calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Males are more vocal during the breeding season (austral summer), making them easier to locate by sound.

This species is often found perched conspicuously on tall grass stalks or low shrubs, making it easier to spot its diagnostic white belly, particularly in open habitats.
