A most abundant species among the mangroves, generally 

 in small flocks. 



This species seems to be distinguished from the true 

 A. phueniceus by having shorter wings and a longer and more 

 slender bill. A large range of variation, however, occurs 

 in both forms, and it is not always easy to determine with 

 certainty to which some individuals belong.

A very common summer visitor, arriving about the end 

 of April. It is one of the few Passerine inhabitants of the 

 outlying cays or rocks, however small, so long as they 

 contain a patch of vegetation. During the first fortnight of 

 May it was often met with well out of sight of land.
