Semillero Pizarroso

El semillero pizarroso (Sporophila schistacea) es un pequeno semillero de coloracion azul pizarra en los machos, con pico palido, que habita pastizales abiertos, sabanas y bordes de bosque desde Nicaragua hasta Bolivia a lo largo de la pendiente del Pacifico sudamericano. Se forrajea en pequenas bandadas sobre semillas de gramineas. Como muchos Sporophila, enfrenta presiones por la captura para el comercio de aves de jaula y la perdida de habitat por conversion de pastizales.
