[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From my recent vacation in Cuba

The Cuban Bullfinch (Melopyrrha nigra) is a songbird species of the monotypic genus Melopyrrha. Sometimes classified in the bunting and American sparrow family (Emberizidae), more recent studies have shown it to be part of the tanager family (Thraupidae). Therein, it belongs to the lineage of tholospizan "finches", which also includes the famous Darwin's finches.
It is found in Cayman Islands and Cuba. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest.

Mario wonderful technique to show us in this outstanding portrait of this Melopirrha nigra. All subtleties that offer black plumage with the reflection of light is masterful in this picture ... Thank you, Master!
