Description
The serra finch (Embernagra longicauda), also known as the pale-throated Pampa-finch, is a species of bird traditionally placed in the family Emberizidae, though recent research suggests it is either very close to the Thraupidae or even part thereof. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.

The habitat of pale-throated Pampa-finch encompasses dry savannas and campos grasslands predominantly within the highland regions. These environments are typically interspersed with sparse palms and ground bromeliads. Pale-throated Pampa-finch shows a preference for woodland and scrubland areas adjacent to humid valleys within rocky campos rupestres, while it tends to avoid open grasslands. In regions with habitat overlap, it is inclined towards the drier and more arid parts.
