Barbuda Warbler (Setophaga subita)
The only endemic to the small island of Barbuda, off the larger neighbouring island Antigua. A brightly coloured inhabitant of thickets and scrub near water. The combination of blue-grey upperparts, extensively yellow underparts, white wingbars, and distinctive facial pattern are unique within its range. The song is variable, but most often is a burbling series of sweet notes given in three parts, with the middle part higher pitched. The call is a single loud sweet chip.
Vulnerable.
