White-collared Seedeater
Sporophila morelleti
Native Range:
North America and Middle America
Notes:
the range of this Central American species barely extends into the United tates (in southern Texas); strong sexual dimorphism with the female being plain brown all over and the male (not pictured here) showing a black-and-white-patterned plumage with a broad white collar.
