Plumbeous Warbler (Setophaga plumbea)
About the Plumbeous Warbler
The plumbeous warbler (Setophaga plumbea) is a species of passerine bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Dominica and Guadeloupe in the Lesser Antilles. The plumbeous warbler was formally described by George Newbold Lawrence in 1877 as Dendroica plumbea with its type locality given as Dominica. Beginning in 2011, taxonomic systems reassigned it to its present genus Setophaga. The plumbeous warbler forms a superspecies with the elfin woods warbler (S. angelae) of Puerto Rico and the arrowhead warbler (S. pharetra) of Jamaica. The plumbeous warbler is monotypic. The plumbeous warbler's genus Setophaga means "moth eater" in Greek. The specific epithet plumbea is Latin and means "lead-colored".
