The star finch is a distinctive small bird with a bright red face and conspicuous white spots on its throat and breast.
The star finch is a species of estrildid finch found in Australia. It inhabits dry grassland and dry savannah habitats. It has three subspecies. The habitat of the star finch is threatened by overgrazing of grasslands, removing essential cover for their survival as well as sources of food and water.
