The female has light brown upperparts and is paler below becoming almost white on the belly. The wings have a
dark edge to the buffy-brown.
It is found in the cerrado of Brazil with a separate population in similar habitat in Colombia and Venezuela. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. It is a very good singer and is becoming scarcer as it is trapped for the caged bird trade. |
