Geothlypis rostrata (Bahama Yellowthroat)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Bahama yellowthroat (Geothlypis rostrata) is a New World warbler. It is a resident breeder endemic to the Bahamas. It is closely related to common yellowthroat, Altamira yellowthroat and Belding's yellowthroat, with which it forms a superspecies, and was formerly considered conspecific. There are two other subspecies; the adult male of G. r. tanneri, found on Grand Bahama, Great Abaco and associated islands, has a yellow tinge to the forecrown band, and G. r. coryi of Eleuthera and Cat islands has a mainly yellow forecrown.
