Masked Grassfinch
(Poephila personata)


The Masked Grassfinch has delicate feather texture, light brown color with black mask and flanks, white rump, coral-red feet and a yellow waxy-looking bill

Masked Grassfinches lay between 4 to 6 eggs, and incubation is 13 to 16 days, and 3 weeks later, when the babies finally emerge from the nest, they are dull little copies of their parents with dark grey beaks.
