I have a tiny disagreement with the English name recommendation .
t.1 (1802) - Oiseaux dorés ou à reflets métalliques - Biodiversity Heritage Library .
And this bird is still in PR. But a recent look at all four specimens collected by Rene Mauge on the Baudin exploration in the MNHN were collected in Saint Thomas.

On page 35 Audebert and Vieillot state the source for the bird was the Mauge collection in the museum.

In the OD it surely says the bird was from Puerto Rico.If split, we recommend the following English names, used by HBW: Hispaniolan Mango for dominicus and Puerto Rican Mango for aurulentus.
