ID tip
Saltatricula multicolor is a large and attractive finch common in the Gran Chaco where it is a frequent member of the mixed ground-feeding, seed-eating flocks that gather in winter. This species yellow bill and distinctive head pattern is often mistaken for the Golden-billed Saltator which occurs alongside him, but the Saltator is much bigger, duller and lacks any white on the tail. These birds are often seen in pairs or parties of five or six on the ground among low bushes, in burns, or at the borders of fields or thickets. Their light coloration makes them conspicuous.
