The plumage on the upper parts of this species 

 is very similar to that of the Yellow Warbler, but 

 is more inclined to brown ; beneath it is olive- 

 green: in other respects it agrees with that species, 

 BufFon describes a bird which approaches very 

 near to this, only differing in being somewhat 

 larger: the upper parts are olive-green; the under 

 yellow : found with the former. It is a native of 

 North America, Jamaica, and other of the West 

 India islands : it feeds on insects.
