Identification

Photographed in Venezuela.

Carib Grackle

Present in the Lesser Antilles from Anguilla and south - probably introduced on some of the northern islands including Antigua and Barbuda. Outside the Caribbean, also present on Trinidad, and Eastern Columbia through Northern Venezuela (including islands such as Isla Margarita etc), the Guyanas, and North-Eastern Brazil.

Taxonomy: Clements Check-list mentions 8 subspecies. According to Raffaele, the 5 Caribbean subspecies have different song dialects, there is some differences in female plumage as well. Prime suspect for a future split?
