I SHOULD have reiterated that if they are breeding with one another
and not usually with either parent species, then most of these
specimens are not hybrids, as they are offspring of neither parent
sp. so a species resulting from hybridization can also contain
genetically-identical specimens which ARE hybrids (offspring of the
new species' parent spp).

Nothing in nature is dead simple!
