Abstract
In March 2016, a pair of New World warblers (Parulidae) evidently belonging to an undescribed species were observed in the mountains of eastern Cuba. We discuss the observed features of the birds and their possible systematic affinities.Keywords: new species, bird, new species, Oriente, Pico Turquino National Park, West Indies.

Cuba is currently believed to be the only island of the Greater Antilles to have extensive mountains but no high-elevation endemics among its birds (Raffaele et al, 2010)
Have recently sheltered, the last populations of Ivory-billed Woodpecker (Campephilus principalis L., 1758) and Cuban Kite (Chondrohierax wilsonii Cassin, 1847), lack of “twitchable” endemics means that this part of the island is usually ignored by visiting birders: of about 60 birding trip reports we could find online, such as eBird, Surfbirds, among others, not a single one mentioned visiting the mountains of the east
