An admissible set of pion distribution amplitudes is constructed in the a_2, a_4 plane of the Gegenbauer polynomial expansion coefficients. The determined a_2, a_4 region strongly overlaps with that extracted from the CLEO data by Schmedding and Yakovlev. Comparisons are given with results from Fermilab experiment E791 and recent lattice calculations.4 pages in moriond style; 1 photo and 2 figures unite 7 EPS files; to appear in Proc. of XXXIVth Rencontres de Moriond "QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions", March 17 to 24, 2001, Les Arcs, Savoie, FranceHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyOn a QCD-based pion distribution amplitude vs. recent experimental datatext
