Black-masked Finch

The Black-masked Finch is a vulnerable, small grassland finch with a gray body, black facial mask, chestnut wings, and a white supercilium. It inhabits native cerrado grasslands and campo sujo scrub of Brazil and adjacent Bolivia and Paraguay, requiring native grass cover that is rapidly being lost to agriculture. It feeds on grass seeds found in sparse, open grassland, foraging close to the ground.
