There is some evidence to support hybridization The among these subspecies. In this study, morphological differences between two subspecies of White Wagtail in Iran including M.a.personata and M.a.persica. were investigate For this purpose, 17 specimens were collected from South and North East of Iran during the spring and summer of 2011. Then seven primary variables were and six calculated ratios for comparison in multivariate analyses using Past program measured . Also coloration of head, forehead, crown and throat between to subspecies Were Compared. T test revealed that five characteristics were significantly different between two subspecies (P Motacilla alba has three subspecies in Iran including M.a. personata, M.a. persica and M. a. dukhunensis.
