Abstract
No correlation was found in Agelaius phoeniceus between natural plumage variation (brightness of epaulette or chin plumage) and dominance in control groups, although dominant females were heavier and in better condition. Brightening an individual's plumage had no consistent effect on dominance status. -from Authors
