This would be rare for Cuba, but if it's not a RCKI, I'm stumped!

you are correct

I've shared with some Cuban birders... We see a lot in US but it would be the 6th recorded in Cuba per eBird - none, I think, on mainland. So I wanted to make sure there isn't some similar bird I don't know about! They are certainly seen all the way down the FLA Keys, so it seems like a few would get blown across the 'gap...
thx

Not super educated on cuban species but I honestly don't see it being anything else- bills to fine for any vireo species imo.

Thanks all for reply. I've since learned that it's the 6th recorded sighting since 2003 and the first since 2016. Glad I know my Kinglets and snagged one photo!
