FORNECIDA POR MERLIN

This is the darkest and dullest firefinch, the only species without a red or pink rump. Both sexes have red in the bill. Males have an extensive red patch on the face, and females just a bit of red. Found in thickets, woodland, and riparian forest adjacent to wetlands. Quiet and inconspicuous. Usually in pairs or small groups. The song is a chattering mix of various types of notes, and calls include soft “tip” notes.
