Kauai 'O'o

https://youtu.be/nDRY0CmcYNU #yt

The last song of the Kauai 'O'o, an extinct bird, was recorded in the 1980s, with a significant recording made in 1984 and possibly the last known singing in 1987. This male Kauai 'O'o sang a haunting mating call marking a poignant final note of the species before extinction.

While not as well known as its cousin, the dodo, the Rodrigues solitaire is also quite important when talking about Holocene extinctions. Just like the dodo it was hunted by Europeans, while domesticated mammals introduced to the island went after its eggs, until the last one of them died in the mid 18th century.
