The Yellow-faced Grassquit is a small, common finch-like bird, characterized by the male's black face with bright yellow markings. It is widespread in open, grassy habitats.
Where to spot
Widespread in grasslands, savannas, gardens, and pastures throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America (Colombia, Venezuela), generally below 1,800 meters.
How to spot
Look for the male's distinctive black face with yellow lores and supercilium. It often forages on the ground, picking seeds from grasses. Listen for its short, insect-like song, which is a good way to find it.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Males are particularly vocal during the breeding season, enhancing observation opportunities.
