Which would probably rule out Kalinago wren.
Depends on whether it is current or historical distribution you think about. As far as I remember, Dominica is the only place with a Kalinago territory today. The Kalinago in St. Vincent were forcibly moved to Roatan from where they moved to Belize, it seems.

(Ridgway described Troglodytes guadeloupensis [Guadeloupe Wren] as duller than T. rufescens [Dominican Wren], and T. martinicensis [Martinique Wren] as still much duller than T. guadeloupensis.)
