Need ID please, I visited Arenal Volcano this weekend and took some photos, I'am not sure if it's a Thick-billed Seed Finch.
#1 and 2 female, #3, 4 and 5 male.
Thanks,
Ana Maria.

Those are some nice pictures of Variable Seedeater. Note the stubby, rather curved bill. The Seed Finch has a larger, more "triangular shaped" bill.

I did a blog post some time ago about separating these two species.
