The akiapōlāau (''Hemignathus wilsoni''), pronounced ''ah-kee-ah-POH-LAH-OW'', is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper, that is endemic to the island of Hawaii. Its natural habitats are dry and montane moist forests, and the only bird species on the island to occupy the woodpecker niche. The bird is in length, and has an unusually curved beak-(a specialist species). The akiapolaau is a pudgy bird which has a whitish bottom and tail, black legs, yellow chest, orangish head, black face mask and bill and gray black wings. The male's song is either a loud, short ''pit-er-ieu'' or a rapid ''warba-warba''. Its various calls include an upslurred whistle, a short ''cheedle-ee'' warble, and a short ''sweet''.〔 ==Distribution== The akiapōlāau occurs mainly in old-growth mesic and wet forests in Kaū and Hamakua. Koa (''Acacia koa'') and ōhia lehua (''Metrosideros polymorpha'') are dominant canopy species in its habitat. Disease-carrying mosquitoes have restricted it to elevations of between . It formerly inhabited māmane (''Sophora chrysophylla'') -naio (''Myoporum sandwicense'') dry forests at elevations of on Mauna Kea, but this population was extirpated in 2002.〔
