Jamaican Oriole

The Jamaican oriole is about 21 cm (8.3 in) long and weighs 34 to 42 g (1.2 to 1.5 oz). The sexes have the same plumage though females are somewhat duller than males. Adults of the nominate subspecies are mostly olivaceous yellow with a somewhat yellower belly. They have a black mask, throat, and upper breast. Their wings are mostly black with wide white edges on the inner flight feathers and white coverts; the last show as a large white patch on the folded wing. Their tail is black. Subspecies I. l. lawrencii is a brighter yellow-green than the nominate and has lemon-yellow underparts. Voice: The Jamaican oriole's song is a "histled you cheat or cheat-you". Other renditions are tie-tiewu and tie-tiewu-tiewu. The species' calls are "a single or 2-note whistle a short chatter".
