 The Madeira firecrest , Madeira kinglet , or <unk> ( Regulus madeirensis ) is a very small passerine bird endemic to the island of Madeira . It is a member of the kinglet family . Before it was recognised as a separate species in 2003 , it was classified as a subspecies of the common firecrest . It differs in appearance and vocalisations from its relative , and genetic analysis has confirmed it as a different species . The Madeiran bird has green upperparts , whitish underparts and two white wingbars , and a distinctive head pattern with a black eye stripe , short white supercilium , and a crest that is mainly orange in the male and yellow in the female .
