Where to spot
Endemic to Cuba, primarily found in humid evergreen forests and moist pine forests, especially in mountainous regions.
How to spot
Look for its dark body with a contrasting pale throat. It is often elusive, so listening for its renowned melodious and complex song, often delivered from within dense cover, is the best approach.
When to spot
