Whimbrel Numenius (p)h.hudsonicus
Engelmoer & Roselaar (1998) recognize
two
subspecies of Nearctic Whimbrel Numenius(p)hudsonicus i.e. nominate
hudsonicus
as well as rufiventris. Rufiventris, which
breeds
from W. Alaska east to the NW territories,
has the typical
brownish appearance as in the bird in the first picture.
Nominate hudsonicus breeds along the south and west coast
of the Hudson Bay.
