Mangrove Warbler

Setophaga petechia (Linnaeus, 1766)

Parulidae — New World Warblers

Mangrove Warbler, Setophaga petechia, is a New World warbler found in mangroves across the tropical Americas, from the extreme south of the USA through Middle America and the West Indies to coastal South America. It also occurs on the Galápagos Islands. The male has a rufous hood, while the other forms are much alike. Females and young birds are greener above and less vivid below, and young males soon gain the breast and, where relevant, head colour. The wings and tail are blackish olive with yellow edges, and the eyes and bill are dark.
