Mike and others, DNA cannot answer all the questions at the subspecies level. While it can certainly help decide whether we are dealing with different species or different subspecies, it is not uncommon that the genetic distance between subspecies in a particular gene is 0.0000%. There must presumably be some difference somewhere in the genome, but in such cases you cannot easily tell the difference between individuals of the same subspecies, and individuals of different subspecies.
