Description
The brown-rumped seedeater is typically 13 cm long. It is a uniform grey-brown with a small white supercilium, and has a plain (not streaked or spotted) breast with white under the chin. Its uniformity means its eponymous 'brown rump' is often not apparent. It feeds on some small seeds and grains in plants and other small shrubs.
