Field Notes

Description:

El macho es amarillo, más oliváceo en alas, dorso y cola, y con matices anaranjados en frente y cara. Esta última característica lo distingue fácilmente de otros jilgueros del género Sicalis. La hembra es de color parduzco más claro en el vientre, con estrías oscuras en pecho y dorso, aunque en algunos lugares como en Cali Colombia suele ser también amarilla y solo se distingue del macho por un tono más pálido.
Se distribuyen ampliamente en Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Brasil y Paraguay.

Habitat:

Praderas arboladas, bosques, parques, áreas urbanas , suburbanas o zonas rurales.
