Common and widespread from E Canada and most of the
USA east of the Rockies to N Peru (in mountains). Northern populations
are more yellow and less orange. P coloro
probably represents a race from the desert SW of the USA rather than a
full species. The race from ecuador (sadala) has been found to have an
interesting genetic makeup suggesting it may be an ancestral race (Tyler,
Brown et al.)
