This species, as we should expect from the arid condition 

 and somewhat scrubby nature of the forest in Cura9ao, is 

 paler above than in C. martinicana (a dark sooty slate as 

 compared with dark sooty black), but the yellow of the 

 underparts is strikingly bright and clear. The rump is 

 more extensively coloured than in C. martinicana or C. barba- 

 dtnsis, and is bright olive-yellow instead of dull olive-green. 

 The secondaries and tertials are more or less broadly edged 

 with light greyish, which distinguishes it from either of 

 its two other allies. In C. barbadensis there is a slight 

 indication of this.
