The western race has a yellow breast, flanks, belly and rump as compared to the eastern race which has only a yellow rump.
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water.
