Yellow Warbler subspecies on Hispaniola (1 Viewer)

In Opus it is stated that Dendroica petechia chlora breeds in the Dominican Republic including a link to the East national Park. In fact it doesn't breed in that area at all, only on a number of small offshore keys in the northwest of the Dominican Republic (Cayos Siete Hermanos).
The D.p. albicollis breeds on the mainland and D.p.solaris on Ile de la Gonave in Haiti.
I am uploading a pic of D.p. chlora in the section "Birds of the Caribbean".
 
I added the picture and clarified the range of chlora (obviously not accepted by all authorities, no wonder that there is confusion with so many subspecies). The link you mention is the general link to the Dominican Republic with only one entry. Maybe you find some time to add some more locations? Would be great.
