About Teretistris fernandinae (Lembeye, 1850)
The yellow-headed warbler (scientific name Teretistris fernandinae (Lembeye, 1850)) measures about 13 cm (5.1 in) long and weighs 6 to 18.5 g (0.21 to 0.65 oz). Its entire head is yellow, with an olive tinge on the crown and nape. Its upperparts are gray, and its underparts are a lighter grayish white. This species is found in far western mainland Cuba, Isla de la Juventud (also called the Isle of Pines), and nearby Cayo Cantiles. It lives in all available forest types that have a relatively undisturbed understory, and also occurs in scrubby thickets in drier areas. It can be found from lowlands up to high mountains in terms of elevation.
