Observation details

Single individual in low brush along the edge of the road. We were initially stumped by this bird which didn't look quite right for a Sporophila or Tiaris/Melanospiza grassquit and only settled on Sooty Grassquit after the fact. Thanks to Esteban Botero for confirming the identification based on the photos! See attached photos.
