Mealy Redpoll = Lesser Redpoll



Is Mealy Redpoll the same species as a Lesser Redpoll, the same species different name I mean. Because a book I have has the Common Redpoll, a winter visitor and the Lesser Redpoll, the largely resident seperate species. (Lesser Redpoll is mainly a brown to the Common Redpoll a white) And also out of interest what are the links of Arctic Redpoll in this.


Mealy Redpoll = Common Redpoll and is a different species (currently) from Lesser Redpoll...

Though once again the status of Redpoll taxa is under review again!


According to me, cabaret = Acanthis flammea's subspecies. According to the nationalists, they're different species.
