The Cinnamon Ibon (Hypocryptadius cinnamomeus) is a species of bird tentatively placed in the white-eye family Zosteropidae. It is monotypic within the genus Hypocryptadius.[2] It is endemic to the mountains of Mindanao in the Philippines. Its natural habitat is tropical moist montane forests and mossy forests above 1,000 metres (3,300 ft).[1] It has a skull and bill similar to that of the sparrows, family Passeridae, and following a study of its mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, Jon Fjeldså and colleagues placed the species as the most basal member of that family.[2]
