About the Cinnamon Warbling Finch

The cinnamon warbling finch is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It has mainly grayish upperparts, with a slate-gray head marked with a cinnamon crescent under the eye and supercilium, two white wingbars, and a chestnut patch across the center of the back. The underparts are largely cinnamon with a rufous breast and flanks. The average length is 13 cm (5.1 in) and the typical mass is around 12.5 g (0.44 oz).. The species is almost entirely found in the arid regions of Argentina, where it spends its breeding season. During the non-breeding season, it migrates to the north and east, possibly reaching as far as Uruguay, and tolerates more moist habitats.
