Twite Carduelis flavirostris

The twite is a small, brown finch closely related to the linnet, but with a longer tail and stubbier bill. Its back is tawny, heavily streaked with dark brown and is white below with dark-brown streaks on its flanks. Like the linnet, it feeds on seeds year-round. Image: Imran Shah (Flickr).
