Saffron Finch

La Ceja, Colombia.

 

Sicalis flaveola (Saffron finch / Canario criollo)

 

Mainly a seed eater, the Saffron Finch generally searches for seeds and small arthropods on or near the ground.

 

The male is bright yellow with an orange crown which distinguishes it from most other yellow finches.

 

The females are more confusing and are usually just a slightly duller version of the male.
