Short Description:

The White-winged Grosbeak (Mycerobas carnipes) is a bird species found in Pakistan. It is characterized by its distinctive white wing patches and large, conical bill. The male has striking black plumage with white patches on the wings, while the female is duller in coloration.

The White-winged Grosbeak inhabits mountainous regions, particularly in the northern parts of the country such as Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It prefers coniferous and mixed forests as well as scrublands at higher elevations.

White-winged Grosbeaks are primarily seed-eaters, feeding on various seeds, berries, and insects. They often forage in small groups, moving through trees and shrubs in search of food. During the breeding season, males can be heard singing melodious songs to establish territories and attract mates. They build cup-shaped nests in trees and shrubs, where the female lays eggs and both parents participate in incubation and caring for the young.
