The Cuban Oriole (Icterus melanopsis) is a species of bird in the Icteridae family. It is endemic to Cuba.
The taxon was formerly lumped with the Bahama Oriole (Icterus northropi), Hispaniolan Oriole (Icterus dominicensis), and Puerto Rican Oriole (Icterus portoricensis) into a single species until all four were elevated to full species in 2010.[1]
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, and plantations .
