Sporophila caerulescens

Recent records in the states of Alagoas (e.g., WA 4446358;A. Rodrigues)and Pernambuco (e.g., WA 2394408; C.Gussoni) are likely of cagebirds inappropriately released in the region, since the species is known to be traded on the local black market (Pagano et al., 2009; Licarião et al., 2013) and had never been recorded in the region .
