Slate-colored Seedeater

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.
