2 Female White-collared Seedeater?

It has a curved culmen so it's not a Thick-billed Seedfinch IMO.

No books here so apologies if I'm misleading by mentioning birds that may not be in range.

Andy, Looking at the Howell guide, the only seedeater he mentions for Coba is the White-collared (aka cinnamon rumped Sporophila Morelleti - female)

Similarly Howell and Webb point the same way based on geographic range

I think that's the answer then?

I also think it must be the seedeater, but I'm pretty sure Morelleti is Morelet's, not Cinnamon-rumped (which remains torqueola, and is found in west Mexico)

Wasn't Morolet's a recent split from White-collared?

Yes, White-collared has been split into Morelet's and Cinnamon-rumped, with Cinnamon-rumped retaining the torqueola part of the name

Sorry I misread the description of the split - agree with Morelets
