| Red-rumped Warbling-Finch
Poospiza lateralis Brazilian name: Quete |

Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil November 2008 The Red-rumped Warbling-Finch is distributed in south-east Brazil, Uruguay, south-east Paraguay and north-east Argentina. It is found in the shrubby borders of Atlantic Rain Forest and woodland. |

 |
There are two sub-species. The sub-species P. l cabansi, found throughout most of its range, has a long white supercilium and is white below with narrow rufous bands on the flanks. The nominate sub-species P. l. lateralis from the mountains on the borders of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, has a less obvious supercilium, broader rufous on the flanks and buffy throat and chest. | |||
 |
This makes it quite easy to
confuse with the smaller Bay-chested Warbling-Finch P.
thoracica but note that the latter has a complete band
across the chest, no supercilium and a white crescent under the
eye. There are recordings on xeno-canto, a distribution map from NatureServe and additional information available via Avibase. |
