Hi, Come on Kevin, I have full confidence you can identify all 4 subspecies on the table or in the field. Mistakes can happen, but all 4 subspecies can be identified with practice. :)

Photos are the only hope. Even then, I have had a couple dozen carcasses from Alaska on the table in front of me and I wasn't sure what was what.
