Description
The Saffron Finch (Sicalis flaveola) is a tanager from South America and is common in both open and semi-open areas in lowlands outside the Amazon Basin. They have a wide distribution in Colombia, Venezuela (where it is called “canario de tejado” or “roof canary”), Ecuador, Peru, Brazil (where it is called “canário da terra” or “earth canary”) and Argentina. Formerly, it was placed in the Emberizidae but it is close to the seedeaters.
