Inaccessible Island Finch
Nesospiza acunhae Cabanis, 1873
Thraupidae — Tanagers & Allies
Inaccessible Island Finch, Nesospiza acunhae, is a passerine in the tanager family that breeds on Inaccessible Island in the Tristan da Cunha group of the South Atlantic. It is also known as the Inaccessible bunting. The species is confined to temperate shrubland and subantarctic grassland on the island, and it is affected by habitat loss. It was described by Cabanis in 1873. Three subspecies are now treated as one species, with forms found on the coastline and plateau, including birds with small or large beaks and olive-grey to bright yellow plumage.
