These birds in the tanager family are found in grasslands and marshes in parts of Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay. Foraging on the ground, they feed on seeds and arthropods. They build cup-shaped nests from dry vegetation, sticks, twigs, and softer materials in grasses or shrubs. Females lay clutches of two to four eggs.
