Hispaniolan Pewee
Contopus hispaniolensis (Bryant, H, 1867)
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Hispaniolan Pewee, Contopus hispaniolensis, is a passerine of the Tyrannidae family that breeds on Hispaniola in North America. It was first described by Bryant in 1867. This bird is tied to the main island of Hispaniola, which is shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and it also occurs on Gonâve Island. It is a resident throughout the year. The species was once placed with the Cuban and Jamaican pewees as a single Greater Antillean form, but it is now treated separately.
