Description
Snow Buntings have several plumages, but they always show white inner wings with black wingtips and a black-and-white tail. Breeding males are sharp white with a black back. Breeding females are whitish overall with a brown, streaky back and a dusky head. Nonbreeding males are white below with rusty patches on the crown, "ear," and shoulder, and dark streaks down the back. Nonbreeding females have a rusty wash on the face and darker rusty patches on the breast. Breeding males and females have a dark bill that turns yellowish orange during the nonbreeding season.
