The Nihoa finch is an omnivorous, ground-nesting Hawaiian honeycreeper (Family: Fringillidae) endemic to Nihoa Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The Nihoa Finch is very similar to the Laysan Finch but smaller (6 inches in length; 17 cm). The male has a bright yellow head and breast, blue-grey back with tinge of yellow in centre, dark wings and tail with yellow-edged feathers, yellowish-white underparts. Female and juvenile yellow heavily streaked with dark brown on back, head, and breast. Nihoa finches have black legs, large feet, and sturdy bills suitable for seed-eating. Voice Song lively and complex, somewhat canary-like. There is no information on adult survival or movements (VanderWerf 2012).
