It is found on Dominica, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), Jamaica, Martinique, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The bird is nicknamed the siffleur montagne (or mountain whistler) in Dominica;[2] a local folk group of the early 1970s, the Siffleur Montagne Chorale, named themselves after it.[3][4]
