At Costanera Sur reserve in Buenos Aires

Yesterday at our local reserve in Buenos Aires - Costanera Sur - I added one more:

456. Cinnamon Warbling Finch

A very rare bird for Buenos Aires because it should be out of the normal range. Normally it should be found in western Argentina on dry country and not in the wet Pampas.
