How lovely to see you posting again GladysJo!

That's is a lovely picture you've taken of this little lady seedeater lass. Very well done.

White-collared Seedeater was split about 18 months ago and, on range, I think this may now be known as [COLOR="Blue"]Morelet's Seedeater[/COLOR], Sporophila morelleti, but I'll do a little more research, if that's OK with you.

Lovely close-up of this lady seedeater perched at the bottom of the large grass inflorescence. Great job Gladys! TFS!

I'm back again GladysJo, just to say that I got it wrong LOL. The Opus Editors say that it must be Cinnamon-rumped Seedeater.

We don't have a picture of the female in The Opus - so I'll upload this lovely picture there shortly.

Many thanks for sharing her with us lass.
