Kauaʻi ʻamakihi
The Kauai amakihi is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper endemic to Kauai. Birds of both sexes are greenish-yellow with black lores and a large, sickle-shaped, downcurved beak. The beak is larger than that of the other three amakihi species and occasionally leads to misidentification as a Kauai nukupuu, which is thought to be extinct. Like other honeycreepers, the Kauai amakihi is threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, and avian malaria, but has not been affected as strongly as other species in the subfamily.
