Mockingbird ??

Picture taken on Grand Bahama Island in November 2005. I believe it to be a mockingbird but not sure if it is a Bahama Mockingbird or standard Northern or another one. To me it most resembles a standard Mockingbird.
thanks for any help

Northern Mockingbird by the look of it. Bahama MB lack the white 'flash at the bas of the primaries and have white in the tail tip only, NM lacks this and have white confined to the outer tail feathers, tail sides, among other differences, makes it quite a different bird.
