Chamaepsila?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I added a close up of the head.

I checked BOLD and the only thing I found in Psilidae that seemed to match was Chamaepsila but I'm no sure if they are found in North America though that may not matter given the large number of introduced species on the island.

Edit - I'm wondering if this could be Chamaepsila rosae which has been introduced.

Same thing
Chamaepsila is the same as Psila in North America.
