Dark Bananaquit (Coereba flaveola)

This is the second place I see the dark version of Bananaquit. The first was in St. Vincent where I remember them as blacker. There is a photo here in BF of a bird from Venezuela, which seems a little paler brown.

The dark version was considerably more common in Grenada than the regular, yellow-bellied version.
