Description

The yellow-bridled finch (Melanodera xanthogramma) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae found in Argentina and Chile. Its natural habitat is high-altitude grassland, from the tropical in the north to the sub-Antarctic region of Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn in the south. The male is mostly yellow and grey with black markings around the face and neck. The female and juvenile are a mottled slightly yellowish grey. Little is known about their behaviour and feeding habits, as they have only begun to be seriously studied in recent years.

Feeding Habits
Yellow-bridled Finch primarily consumes seeds and arthropods. They forage on the ground and use the edge of melting snow in spring, adopting behaviors akin to Leucosticte. They occasionally eat dandelion petals, often during breeding season or in small winter flocks.
Habitat
The yellow-bridled Finch is commonly found in sparsely vegetated to grassy alpine habitats with interspersed rocks. Outside of breeding season, these birds inhabit open, grassy areas, including sea and lake shorelines, adapting from mountainous terrains to sea-level environments.
