Inverted Bananaquit

Bananaquit (Coereba flaveola)
I previously posted a wet bananaquit. Here's a dry one! They are interesting little birds and quite common in the Caribbean. Most often we see them sipping nectar from flowers. However, they also eat insects. The one in this image seemed to be finding something under the leaves. I photographed him at the entrance to the Mastic Trail on Grand Cayman in December.
All comments very welcome.
