The '''nukupu{{okina}}u''' are a group of [[Extinction|extinct]] (or [[critically endangered]]) species [[Hawaiian honeycreeper|Hawaiian honeycreepers]] in the subfamily [[Carduelinae]] of the family [[Finch|Fringillidae]]. The nukupuʻu, together with the surviving [[ʻAkiapolaʻau|ʻakiapōlāʻau]], form the genus ''[[Hemignathus]].''

==Description==
[[File:Naturalis Biodiversity Center - RMNH.AVES.110010 - Hemignathus lucidus lucidus Lichtenstein, 1839 - (Oahu) Nukupuu - specimen - video.webm|left|thumbtime=0:14|upright|thumb|Turnaround video of a male Oʻahu nukupuʻu (''Hemignathus lucidus''), [[Naturalis Biodiversity Center]]]]
Males have yellow underparts and head. The upperparts are duller, darker and greenish. Females are overall duller, with most of the underparts whitish. The lores, eye-ring and long decurved bill are blackish. It is {{convert|5.5|in|cm}} long.

Their habitat was dense [[Hawaiian tropical rainforests#Mixed mesic forests|mesic]] and [[Hawaiian tropical rainforests#Wet forests|wet forest]] of {{okina}}ōhi{{okina}}a lehua (''[[Metrosideros polymorpha]]'') and koa (''[[Acacia koa]]'') at altitudes of {{convert|3300|-|6600|ft|m}}.

The timing of their extinction is controversial. The last confirmed sightings of the [[Maui nukupuʻu]] and [[Kauaʻi nukupuʻu]] were in the 1890s, although unconfirmed sightings continued until the 1990s. The [[Oʻahu nukupuʻu]] disappeared in the 1800s, and the [[giant nukupuʻu]] is only known from [[Fossil|fossils]].
