Emas, Goiás, Brazil April 2001 Seedeaters, particularly females, are notoriously difficult to identify properly which has caused some taxonomic confusion. Recent studies have led to the separation of Pearly-bellied Seedeater from Copper Seedeater S. bouvreuil. |

 |
Pearly-bellied Seedeaters are distributed in south Brazil and adjacent areas of Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. See the distribution map at xeno-canto.
The first photo, taken in Emas N.P., Goiás, shows a male while the second photo is of a female. |

| One of the principal distinctions from the Copper Seedeater is the whitish rather than cinnamon-brown underparts. It has the typical black cap and white speculum of what is known as the capuchin group of Sporophila seedeaters | ||||
