The Black-whiskered Vireo is a small but stout-bodied songbird with a straight rather thick bill with a sharp hook which you can see clearly in these images.
It is olive above and pale with olive-yellow sides below. The head features a gray crown with a black lower border, white stripe over the eye, black line through the eye, and distinctive thin black “whisker” mark bordering the throat.
They move slowly through upper portions of trees and taller scrub in search of insects and fruit. Cornell All About Birds
