Your database photograph of Yucatan Vireo (Peter Bono, Grand Cayman, March 2005) doesn't look right. Although I am not familiar with the Cayman Island race I would not expect to see wing bars. Also it should have a dark eye-stripe and buffish super. Although the bird in the photograph is facing away it appears to have yellowish 'spectacles'. This bird looks more like Thick-billed Vireo.
 
Sure there´s been a switch, the Yucatan Vireo is surely a Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris), and the other way around, Yucatan Vireo (Vireo magister).
