 VARIATION IN CENTRAL AMERICAN FLICKERS
However, mexicanoides has a rufous, rather than the brown, crown of the ca/er group (an approach toward mexicanoides is evident in some mexicanus individuals, and in ru/ipileus of the ca/er subspecies group, as well as in all races, es- pecially tenebrosus, of the chrysoides group).
Traces of red coloring were evident in the crowns of four Honduran, one Chiapan, and one E1 Salvador males (traces in six of 48 males, or 13% of all males).
Crown color of mexicanoides is assigned a score of "4," as in the cafer group, because the rufous-chestnut color exhibited is closer to the browns of that group than to the grays of the auratus group.

Lester was the most bourgeois of underminers, the wiliest jazz provocateur of his generation.
In that period, Lester devoted most of his energy to the punctilious Brass Fantasy and the grievously undervalued New York Organ Ensemble (with James Carter and Amina Claudine Myers never better), which made two albums in 1991 for DIW that will make my shortlist for the decade.
In assessing the influence of Lester and his comrades, consider Terry Martin's parenthetical liner comment on the instrumentation: "three horns and a bassist!!" That sort of lineup wouldn't merit a single exclamation point today.
