Both these specimens are very typical va intermedia with 
the lower back quite grey, not white. These geographical races of 
Columba livia are generally very inconstant, partly due, no doubt, 
to crosses with domesticated birds but also due to the very wide 
range of individual variation which occurs. Major C. R. S. Pit- 
man informs me that even well North in Mesopotamia he found 
birds breeding together some of which were the true white rumped 
livia, whilst others were as dark as the darkest Indian intermedia.
