The American White-winged Crossbill {Loxia kucoptera, 

 Gmelin) is a rare nomadic autumn migrant to the British 

 Isles, and is also found in Northern North America, from 

 Alaska to Labrador and Newfoundland. This crossbill is 

 said to have a more slender bill than the European white- 

 winged crossbill.
