The pine grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator) is a large member of the true finch family, Fringillidae. It is found in coniferous woods across Alaska, the western mountains of the United States, Canada, and in subarctic Fennoscandia and Siberia. The scientific name is from Latin. The genus Pinicola is from pinus, "pine tree", and colere, "to dwell", and the specific enucleator is from enucleare, to remove the kernel (nucleus). The pine grosbeak, together with its Himalayan relative the crimson-browed finch (Pinicola subhimachala), represents an ancient divergence from the same stock that also gave rise to the true bullfinches (Pyrrhula). Order: Passeriformes, Family: Fringillidae, Genus: Pinicola, Species: Pinicola enucleator (Linnaeus, 1758).
