 (long) tail-feathers usually with black spots on terminal portion of 

 inner webs. 



Measurements. — Male: 3 Wing, 105.5-110 (average, 107) mm.; tail, 

 62.5-65.5 (64); exposed culmen, 27.5-29.5 (28.5); tarsus, 20-20.5

Geographical distribution. — Bahaman Upper Tropical Zone, on 

 Abaco and Great Bahama islands, Bahama Islands. 



While the character of spots on the rectrices, which distinguishes 

 this race from Dryobates villosus maynardi, is not entirely constant, it 

 is sufficiently so to warrant the recognition of Dryobates villosus piger.
