Lined Seedeater

The Lined Seedeater (Sporophila lineola) is a small, adaptable bird in the family Thraupidae, commonly found across parts of South America and Central America. This species thrives in subtropical and tropical environments, particularly in moist shrublands, open pasturelands, and areas of heavily degraded forest. It is characterized by its unique patterning and its diet mainly of seeds, a feature typical of seedeaters. The Lined Seedeater is found across a broad range, spanning Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
