<p>The Saffron Finch is actually not a finch, but a tanager native to South America. It is a beautiful bright yellow, and is very common around Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. Males are slightly brighter than females and have more of an orangey wash around on the face. The Saffron Finch was introduced to Hawaii in the late 1960s.
