🪶Help me out, #ornithology folks of #BirdSky! Curating @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social collections for digitisation, I found this labeled Stripe-tailed Yellow Finch (Sicalis citrina), which it's NOT. #SouthAmerican #birds ≠ my forte: is this a Blue-black Grassquit (Volatinia jacarina) or something else?

It does look like a juvenal / female Volatinia jacarina indeed!

Excellent, many thanks Alexandre! It's really, really worn, so I'm guessing it's an adult female (with the caveat that I don't know their moult pattern).
