Thick-billed Seed Finch (Oryzoborus funereus)

Despite what its common name might suggest O. funerus is not a true finch but a species of tanager (Thraupidae) that occurs in Mexico south through Central America to Colombia and Ecuador. Further south it is replaced by Oryzoborus angolensis. Thick-billed seed finches typically inhabit areas with alot of shrubbery and grasses, where they feed mostly on seeds using their large bills to crush them.
