We reanalyze the {gamma}{gamma}*{yields}{pi}{sup 0} transition form factor F{sub {pi}}{sub {gamma}}(Q{sup 2}) within the QCD light-cone sum rules method with the twist-4 accuracy. In computations, the pion leading twist distribution amplitude (DA) with two nonasymptotic terms and the renormalon method-inspired twist-4 DAs are used. The latters allow us to estimate the impact of effects due to higher conformal spin components in the pion twist-4 DAs on the form factor F{sub {pi}}{sub {gamma}}(Q{sup 2}). Obtained theoretical predictions are employed to deduce constraints on the pion DAs from CELLO and CLEO data.
