Sporophila intermedia

Least Concern

About

El espiguero gris (Sporophila intermedia) es un pequeño semillero con plumaje pardo-grisáceo y un pico cónico. Habita pastizales abiertos, sabanas y arrozales del norte de Sudamérica, desde Colombia y Venezuela hasta Trinidad y las Guayanas. Los machos son de color gris medio con alas más oscuras; las hembras son de color marrón listado. Muy gregarios, forman grandes bandadas para alimentarse de semillas de gramíneas. Como muchos semilleros de pastizal, es poco conocido ecológicamente y enfrenta presión continua por la conversión agrícola de pastizales nativos.
