Raimondi’s Yellow-Finch is endemic to the Peruvian coast, where it occurs in lomas vegetation. It is usually uncommon but may gather in large numbers where food is available.
Males have gray-brown upperparts, yellow sides of the head with gray ear patches, and a yellow center to the underparts bordered by gray. Females are mostly brown with little yellow on the face.
It forages on the ground and can gather in large flocks in Peru's coastal lomas. It is generally uncommon but may concentrate where food is available.
