Collared Crescentchest

<em>Melanopareia torquata</em>, the Collared Crescentchest, is a bird in the family Melanopareiidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is native to South America, with its range extending through central Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina, where it inhabits open dry habitats including cerrado scrubland, grasslands with scattered shrubs, and savanna.
