The S??o Tom?? Grosbeak, Neospiza concolor, is a large, chunky finch with a massive bill. It is endemic to the island of S??o Tom??.

Until recently this bird was known only from three nineteenth century specimens. It was rediscovered in 1991. The current population is estimated at less than 50. The main threat is habitat destruction.
