Sporophile intermédiaire

A small, inconspicuous seedeater with grey-brown plumage and a conical bill, grey seedeaters inhabit open grasslands, savanna, and rice fields across northern South America from Colombia and Venezuela to Trinidad and the Guianas. Males are medium grey with darker wings; females are streaked brown. Highly gregarious, forming large foraging flocks on grass seeds. Like many grassland seedeaters, grey seedeaters are poorly known ecologically and face ongoing pressure from agricultural conversion of native grasslands.

Sporophile ardoisé

A small, slate-blue seedeater of open grasslands, savannas, and forest edges from Nicaragua through Central America and along the Pacific slope of South America to Bolivia, slate-colored seedeaters have uniform dark slate-grey plumage in males with a pale bill. They forage in small flocks on grass seeds and are often found in tall grass near forest edges. Like many Sporophila seedeaters, they are impacted by trapping for the cage bird trade and habitat loss from pasture conversion.
