Maui Parrotbill
Pseudonestor xanthophrys Rothschild, 1893
Fringillidae — Finches, Euphonias
Maui Parrotbill, Pseudonestor xanthophrys, is a Hawaiian honeycreeper found only on Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. It lives on the windward slopes of Haleakalā, where it is restricted to mesic and wet forest. The bird is confined to a very small area, and fossil evidence shows it once occurred in drier forest at much lower elevations too. It was described by Rothschild in 1893.
