Oahu Amakihi

Chlorodrepanis flava (Bloxam, A, 1827)

Oahu Amakihi, Chlorodrepanis flava, is a finch in the Hawaiian Islands, confined to Oʻahu. It is a honeycreeper of the island’s wetter south, and also occurs in the valley near Wahiawa and Mililani. It is most often found in forest, especially where native koa is dominant, though it can use altered woodland and wooded urban areas. The male is yellow underneath with greener upper parts, while the female is duller and shows two clear wing-bars.
