Hawaiian Honeycreepers. This group, confined to the Hawaiian Islands, is thought to have arisen from a single ancestor such as a rosefinch, which went on to radiate into diverse ecological roles in a pattern analogous to, but much more dramatic than, that of the Galapagos finches. Many are now extinct.
