Eastern breeding birds can be said to range between 186 

 and 224 in males, and between 185 and 211 in females. 

 Western breeding birds seem to range between 199 and 211 

 in males and between 193 and 199 in females. I ha\e 

 included tropical east Africa and tropical west Africa under 

 the eastern and western breeding birds respective!}'. I do 

 not consider such measurements justify separation.
