(aka Melopyrrha nigra)
February 2005
The Cuban Bullfinch is distributed only on Cuba and Grand Cayman Island. It is found in forest and woodland where it feeds on seeds, fruit and insects.
It has a large thick black bill and a white wing patch but is otherwise all black. The male is shinier black than the female with a larger white wing patch. I think the first two photos are of a male while the 3rd photo is of a female (though the relative dullness might just be due to the angle of the light).
