ID tip
The Saint Lucia black finch is a small (13–14 cm; 18–23 g) brown or black finch-like bird with a strong black bill. The male is all black with pink legs, the female is brown above with a contrasting grey crown and beige underparts. Juveniles are similar to the females. The similar lesser Antillean bullfinch is larger but has a smaller bill and lacks the pink on the legs. The call is a somewhat bananaquit-like but rough "tick-zwee-swisiwis-you", with emphasis on the second and last notes.
