The gray-throated warbling finch (Microspingus cabanisi) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in forest borders and woodland in south-eastern Brazil, far eastern Paraguay, far north-eastern Argentina, and Uruguay. It was previously considered conspecific with the buff-throated warbling finch, and together they were known as the red-rumped warbling finch. The SACC found enough evidence to split them in 2009.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gray-throated Warbling-Finch is recorded against all the birds logged in Curitiba (67 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
