Hesperiphona vespertina (W Cooper, 1825) EVEGR 17180
Family: Passeriformes > Fringillidae

Similar in size and shape to Hawfinch, but with a duller yellow-toned plumage. Evening Grosbeak breeds in the boreal forests of Canada and is an extremely rare visitor to Britain.

Although largely resident in habits, Evening Grosbeak populations may make substantial movements when seed crops within their normal breeding range fail.
