Why is there a 1-2px gap between my image and caption?

i cant find any margin, so I'm confused as to what the cause is and how to remove it. You cant see the image but you can see the grey border with the gp bewtween the caption and the image still https://jsfiddle.net/nyftp2b7/11/

caption-clr {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
}
body {
  background-color: lightgreen;
}

<figure class="main-image">
  <a href="img/cannabislegalmap.png">
    <img src="img/cannabislegalmap.png" width="100%" alt="Image of a map of states were recreational cannabis is legal">
  </a>
  <figcaption class="caption-clr">States were recreational cannabis use is legal.
  </figcaption>
</figure>

Image is an inline object, it have a line-height. When you add a 'display: block' to it, there is no more gap
