Lesser Antillean Bullfinch

Loxigilla noctis

The Lesser Antillean Bullfinch, scientifically known as Loxigilla noctis, is a small passerine bird found in the Lesser Antilles. This species is known for its distinctive plumage, with the males displaying a vibrant red coloration on their head, throat, and breast, while the females have a more subdued brownish-gray plumage. These birds are often found in scrublands, gardens, and forest edges, where they forage for seeds, fruits, and insects. The Lesser Antillean Bullfinch is known for its melodious song and is a common sight in its range. While the population trend is not well-documented, it is generally considered to be of Least Concern by the IUCN due to its widespread distribution and apparent stable population.

Habitat: Scrublands, gardens, forest edges
