LINED SEEDEATER Sporophila lineola
Distinctive for his black and white plumage the male Lined Seedeater is easy enough to identify. A migrant species that occurs mainly in the Chaco, it is occasionally encountered in flocks of other seedeaters during the spring and summer. Like most members of the genus females are much duller, browner and difficult to identify, but note their pale pinkish lower mandible.
