English term or phrase: grasping beak
Darwin’s Finches vary by what they eat, some eat seeds and others eat insects.

Vegetarian Finch and Ground Finch all have crushing beaks while the Tree Finch have a grasping beak. The Cactus Finch, Warbler Finch and Woodpecker Finch all have probing beaks. This is how they are distinguished into their separate groups.
