The Laysan Finch (Telespiza cantans) is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper that is endemic to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It is one of four remaining finch-billed Hawaiian honeycreepers. The Laysan finch is named after Laysan, the island to which it was endemic on its discovery. The male Laysan finch has yellow plumage with a whitish belly and a grey neck, while the female is duller with brown streaking. The Laysan finch is a large honeycreeper with a heavy bill. Laysan finches are generalists, feeding on seeds, small insects, fruit, carrion, and the eggs of nesting seabirds. The Laysan finch nests in vegetation, laying three eggs in a cup-shaped nest .
