Black-headed Grosbeak Pheucticus melanocephalus. Occasional to rare in winter, spring, and fall in all regions. Found in woodlands.
It is considerably bigger than its North American congeners, the Black-headed Grosbeak and the Rose-breasted Grosbeak, being about 21.5-24 cm (8.5-9.5 in) long and weighing on average 62 g (2.2 oz).
All grosbeaks and buntings have these stout, conical bills. They just come by them in different ways. The Black-headed Grosbeak looks like it's related to the Evening Grosbeak, but one is a cardinal and the other a finch.
Some cardinaline grosbeaks are entirely tropical. In North America
the best-known species are the rose-breasted grosbeak, of the east,
and its western counterpart, the black-headed grosbeak.
