The Entre Ríos Seedeater or Narosky's Seedeater (Sporophila zelichi) is a kind of bird in the tanager family, found in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Here it is listed a separate species, but this status is open to strong doubt. The American Ornithologists' Union's South American Classification Committee has accepted a proposal to remove it from their list on the grounds that it is merely a color morph of the Marsh Seedeater.[1]
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland and subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
