The ʻiʻiwi (pronounced , ) or scarlet honeycreeper (Drepanis coccinea), is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper. The iiwi is a highly recognizable symbol of Hawaii.
== Etymology == Linguists derive the Hawaiian language word iiwi from Proto-Nuclear-Polynesian *kiwi, which in central Polynesia refers to the bristle-thighed curlew (Numenius tahitiensis), a migratory bird. The long decurved bill of the curlew somewhat resembles that of the iiwi.
