The male has an entirely grey head with rufous underparts and rump. Photo 2 shows what I believe is a female of the species. One is never sure with female Sprophilas but I believe that Ruddy-breasted Seedeater is one of the few Sprophilas in the OtĂșn-Quimbaya area. It might conceivably be a female Slate-coloured Seedeater S. schistacea. | |||
