It also occurs on Vieques and Culebra, and on several islands in the American and British Virgin Islands. It is a year-round resident. The bird is found in deciduous and pine forest, mangroves, coffee plantations and arid scrubland, from sea level up to 800 m. It is known locally as juí. Adults have the same plumage in both sexes, with a dark sooty brown crest, olive-brown upperparts and a pale grey throat and breast.
