As finches go, this is a real monster, almost as big as Redwing, and with a huge bill capable of cracking cherry stones. They are basically orangey-brown in plumage with one massive white wing bar and a white tip to the tail. More

Hawfinch is the biggest bird of the Fringillidae Family. This bird has distinctive heavy silhouette with its “huge” bill and head, and short neck and tail.

This fact is unique in Fringillidae, but maybe they are used in courtship displays. More
