papa-capim-cinza

O caboclinho-cinza (Sporophila intermedia) é um pequeno capuchinho com plumagem cinza-acastanhada e bico cônico. Habita campos abertos, savanas e arrozais no norte da América do Sul, da Colômbia e Venezuela até Trinidad e as Guianas. Os machos são cinza médio com asas mais escuras; as fêmeas são marrom-listradas. Altamente gregários, formam grandes bandos para se alimentar de sementes de gramíneas. Como muitos capuchinhos de campo, é pouco conhecido ecologicamente e enfrenta pressão contínua pela conversão agrícola de campos nativos.
