"Thick-billed Seed Finch," Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The thick-billed seed finch is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found widely in shrubby and grassy areas from southern Mexico, through Central America, to the Chocó in Colombia and Ecuador. It is replaced by the closely related chestnut-bellied seed finch in South America east of the Andes, as well as the valleys of Cauca and Magdalena in Colombia. The two have often been considered conspecific as the lesser seed-finch (Oryzoborus angolensis). The male is almost entirely black, with a small white wing patch. The female is a rich brown all over.
