Bananaquit
Coereba flaveola
The bananaquit is a small bird, although size varies somewhat across the subspecies. Length can range from 10 to 13 cm (3.9 to 5.1 in). Weight ranges from 5.5 to 19 g (0.19 to 0.67 oz). Most subspecies of the bananaquit have dark grey (almost black) upperparts, black crowns and sides of the head, a prominent white eyestripe, grey throat, white vent, and yellow chest, belly, and rump. Coloration is heavily influenced by melanocortin 1 receptor variation. The sexes are alike, but juveniles are duller and often have partially yellow eyebrows and throat.
