Akikiki (Hawaii) - Fringillidae Oreomystis mana

From www.iucnredlist.org: "It feeds on invertebrates, and has been observed excavating rotting wood from the centre of a twig, presumably for insect larvae. Both parents have been observed bringing food to the nest, with the male providing some food for the female. The species is threatened."
