They could easily be both.
I'd say yes. They change appearance based on what food is available on each respective island.

Sad!
Like many Pokemon, they're based on a combination of things. The whole different-islands adaptive radiation dealio is most commonly associated with Darwin's finches, but the same thing happened with Hawaiian honeycreepers, which look a lot more like Oricorio and are more relevant to Alola. The dance aspect is just their way of spicing it up so it's not a literal honeycreeper.
