The wing chord of males can range from Шаблон:Convert, averaging Шаблон:Convert, and, in females, it ranges from Шаблон:Convert, averaging Шаблон:Convert. Males and females average Шаблон:Convert in tail length, Шаблон:Convert in tarsal length, and Шаблон:Convert in culmen length.

Taxonomy

Like other island races, the validity of this subspecies has been called into question, but it has its defenders as well. Generally, this subspecies appears as a diminutive version of B. j. umbrinus in plumage characteristics but is considerably isolated from that race.[1][2][3]
