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 predominantly inhabits the edges of forests and clearings in sub-taiga regions, as well as areas affected by logging or fires in denser forests. Broadly found in coniferous and mixed forests with shrubs, the species extends up to 2000 meters in elevation. It also occupies forest 'islands' in steppes and settlements' outskirts. During migration and winter, pine Bunting selects open landscapes with trees and scrub, including forest belts, gardens, and weedy thickets, often near arable land and water sources like swampy pastures. Some populations in winter favor coastal dunes, badlands, and garrigue in mountainous or hilly terrains, along with vegetated old dunes surrounded by cultivated lands.
