Black-faced grassquit

This is a common bird in long grass or scrub in open or semi-open areas, including roadsides and ricefields.

Both sexes build the nest and feed the young.

Phylogenetic studies have hitherto failed to place this genus firmly with respect to a large number of species in the group called "Tholospiza", which typically build nests covered by a dome of material.

Black-faced Grassquit thrives in tropical climates. Adult males possess velvety black and moss-green plumage, while the females' attire fades to pale gray and olive. Such nondescript colors are a legacy from their sparrow family. Small and finch-like, the Black-faced Grassquit uses its stout, conical beak for crushing and husking seeds. Males pursue females quite vigorously during courtship, chasing them through vegetation and flailing them with their wings. More
