So would Tassy Pinks be identifiable as such if collected in Victoria?

Or is this just an average difference with broad overlap?

Cheers, Chris.

G'day Richard, Nikolas and Stephen.

I'm interested to know where everyone is getting their data from.
HANZAB shows that Tasmanian birds are bigger in all measurements so rather
than having proportionately longer wings they are just bigger all around, no
advantage in that for migration. Similarly there is not enough data in
HANZAB to compare average weights for the two ssp, but if the birds in Tas
are physically bigger in all measurements then they would have to be
heavier.

Cheers Jeff.
