Akiapola'au (Hemignathus munroi)

This odd-looking bird has a rotund body, a large head, and an oversized, strongly-curved upper bill. It has yellow-green upperparts and yellow underparts, with an orange hue to the face and breast (2). Adult males sing with a short and rapid warbling song and both adults call with a variety of short whistle notes (2) (4).
