throat, chest, under surface of the shoulders, abdomen, and under tail-coverts 
bright yellow : bill and feet brown.

Near Maldonado, I saw very large flocks of this species feeding on the open 
grassy plains. When the whole flock rises, these birds utter alow but shrill chirp. 
In Chile I obtained only one specimen.
