I know 0. alpestris montana Bianchi by description only, but I do 

 not think any in our series at all approach it.

Characters. Colors apparently * as in P. enucleator kamtschatkensis 

 Dybowski, i. e. very slightly brighter than in P. e. enucleator (Linne) 



1 The one example is in full breeding plumage. In this stage, in all pine grosbeaks, 

 the colors are dark and intensified from the wearing away of the tips of the feathers.
