Orangequit female (endemic to Jamaica)

Orangequit is a distinctive member of the Jamaican avifauna, both because it is endemic to the Caribbean island and because it is the only member of its genus. The female, as seen here, is mainly grey, and different from the purplish blue male with an orange throat patch ( www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/50578431716/in... ). This individual was observed at the Rockland Bird Sanctuary, near Montego Bay.
