Description
The pine bunting is a robust 16–17.5-centimetre bird, with a thick seed-eater's bill. The male has a white crown and cheeks, and a chestnut forehead and throat, and a heavily streaked brown back. The female is much duller and is more streaked on its undersides. Non-breeding plumage is like that of a yellowhammer, but with all the yellow replaced by white. Its song and calls are like those of the yellowhammer.

Feeding Habits
Pine Bunting primarily feeds on seeds and insects, exhibiting foraging behavior typical of buntings.
Habitat
The pine Bunting resides primarily at the forest edges and clearings of sub-taiga zones, inhabiting coniferous and mixed forests with an undergrowth of shrubs, extending to elevations of 2000 meters. During winter, it chooses open landscapes with scattered trees and scrubs, such as forest belts and gardens near fields and water sources, while some populations prefer coastal and vegetated terrains near cultivated lands.
