Black-and-white Seedeater

A small, boldly patterned seedeater with striking black-and-white plumage in males — jet black upper parts and wings contrasting with white underparts — black-and-white seedeaters inhabit open and semi-open habitats including grassland, forest edge, and plantation shade in the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia. One of the more distinctively patterned Sporophila seedeaters. Females are plain brown and buff. They forage on grass seeds and are sometimes kept as cage birds for the males' patterning and song.
