The multicolored chaco is a small bird with bright plumage in males. It lives in dry shrublands and steppes of South America.
The multicolored chaco stands out with the bright coloration of males, which helps attract a mate. The bird spreads plant seeds and serves as food for predators in the chaco ecosystem.
Collects food on the ground and low plants using its beak.
