Caqueta Seedeater
Sporophila murallae Chapman, FM 1915
The Caquetá seedeater is a passerine bird from the western Amazon Basin in south-eastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, north-eastern Peru and far western Brazil. The status in south-eastern Peru is unclear. Together with the mainly Central American S. corvina, it was formerly considered a subspecies of S. americana, in which case the common name for the combined species was variable seed eater. Following the split, this common name is now restricted to S. corvina. Source: Wikipedia
