Evolution would predict otherwise. The creationist straw man
fallacy is their claim that evolution would be a dog giving
birth to a cat or a monkey to a human. That has never happened,
and if it did, it would DISPROVE evolution. Instead, this is
what we see:

Far more colorful and distinctive adaptive finch radiation
took place on the Hawaiian Archipelago resulting in the
beautiful Honey Creepers.
The archipelago formed as new volcanic islands emerged over
a "Hot Spot". They grew, eventually being carried
northeastward by the tektonic plate and a new island would
begin to form over the "Hot Spot". Once volcanic activity
ceased building an island, older islands gradually eroded
away, eventually into atolls. Wake Island is such an atoll
and part of that chain.

The geologic evolution of those separate islands produced a
wide range of habitats and food sources that resulted in
greater diversification in form and coloration among the
descendants of the initial colonization of Eurasian
Rosefinches (Genus Carpodacus) that resulted in the
morphologically distinctive Honey Creepers. It is much more
difficult for creationists to argue that they are "just
finches".
