The male in the Lesser Antillean race is more or less identical to
the female (this observer have seen both sexes in the Lesser field
guide, but do not have the photos to show that). Male of the
Puerto Rico form is mostly dark above, with sky-blue crown and
rear neck, and rich yellow on the rump, above the bill, and on the
underside.

Male of the Hispaniolan form is similar to the Puerto Rican form,
but the yellow is replaced with a more orange color, and the throat
is dark. The combination of color and shape is rather unique
within the range.

This species is divided into three subspecies: nominate form is
found in Hispaniola and Gonâve Island, sclateri in Puerto Rico,
while flavifrons is known from Barbuda, Antigua, Guadeloupe, La
Desirade, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and known
as a vagrant from other islands in the Lesser Antilles; it is
believed to be extirpated from Saba.believed to be extirpated from
