The absence of a natal plumage in the Hispaniolan Palm Chat, Dulus dominicus (Dulinae, Passeriformes)
Main Article Content
Abstract: The Palm Chat (Dulus dominicus) of Hispaniola has no natal plumage. This condition is rare among passerines and allies Dulus with Bombycilla, which also lacks a natal plumage. Dulus with Bombycilla are thus set apart at the subfamily level from Phainopepla, which has a copious natal down.
