**Definition:**
The Colima warbler (Leiothlypis crissalis) is a small migratory songbird native to the mountainous regions of Mexico and the southwestern United States. It is known for its distinctive olive-gray plumage and melodious song.
## Description
The Colima warbler measures approximately 12 to 13 centimeters in length. It has olive-gray upperparts, a pale yellow belly, and a white eye ring. Its bill is slender and pointed, adapted for insect foraging.
