 Comments
       
  Comment: Although Coccyzus americanus occidentalis Ridgway, 1887 had been recognized as a valid subspecies, Banks (1988, 1990) concluded, based on morphological evidence, that C. americanus "should be treated as a monotypic species." Later work (Pruett et al., 2001) based on molecular evidence supports "the separation of the Yellow-billed Cockoo into two subspecies." Re-evaluation of the status of occidentalis may be warranted
