Many-colored Chaco Finch
Saltatricula multicolor (Burmeister, 1860)
Thraupidae — Tanagers & Allies
Many-colored Chaco Finch, Saltatricula multicolor, breeds in south-western South America from eastern Bolivia and western Paraguay to northern Argentina and western Uruguay. It is a passerine in the tanager family and is linked to dry woodland and the Gran Chaco. The bird is often seen in mixed flocks on the ground in winter, and it is also found in pairs or small parties among low bushes, in burnt areas, and along field and thicket edges. It is sometimes confused with the Golden-billed Saltator, but that bird is larger, duller and lacks white on the tail.
