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 à ventre jaune

A small, distinctive seedeater with yellow underparts and a conspicuous black bib in males, yellow-bellied seedeaters inhabit weedy fields, forest edges, and grasslands from Costa Rica through South America to Argentina. Males have black upper parts with chestnut flanks contrasting with yellow belly. They form large flocks on grass seeds and agricultural weeds. Popular as cage birds in South America for the males' attractive plumage and melodious song. Listed as Least Concern with widespread and stable populations.
