Abstract

Common Yellowthroat racial identities and distributions Texas are not well known. I examined 144 specimens and identified nine subspecies based on morphometric analyses and plumage. One of these subspecies is not currently recognized as occurring in Texas, while three others have not been recognized by the A.O.U. While appearing distinct in this specimen series, several of these subspecies may prove to be clinal forms of more widely accepted subspecies.
