São Tomé Grosbeak
Crithagra concolor
The São Tomé grosbeak (Crithagra concolor) is the largest member of the canary genus Crithagra, 50% heavier than the next largest canary species. It is endemic to the island of São Tomé.
For a long period this bird was known only from three nineteenth-century specimens. It was rediscovered in 1991. The current population is estimated at less than 250, and it is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN.

Range & habitat
The São Tomé grosbeak, when rediscovered, was thought to inhabit exclusively lowland, old-growth forests in the lower elevations of the south of the island. Observations in the early 2000s indicated that the species was also inhabiting younger forests at higher elevations (between 1,300–1,400 m). The grosbeak is a very discrete species, and thus difficult to detect; its believed scarcity may also be a function of persistent non-detection during surveys.
