There are two types of grosbeaks that have been reportedly seen. They are the Rose-breasted Grosbeak and the Blue Grosbeak. The names of the birds reflect their colours, from a reddish-purple to a bright red, banana-yellow to gold and bluish-black to a navy blue. These birds have some of the most beautiful colours of all the birds seen in Cuba.
