The Yellow-rumped Siskin is a small, yellow and black finch found in the temperate regions of Chile and Argentina. It is distinguished by its bright yellow rump.

Where to spot

How to spot

Look for them in small flocks, often feeding on the ground or in shrubs. The bright yellow rump is visible in flight and when perched, aiding identification.

When to spot

Resident year-round in much of its range, though some populations may move to lower altitudes in winter. Breeding occurs during the austral spring and summer (October-January).
