Tail rings are not that reliable!! I have seen siberian tigers with very caspian like tails and Caspian tigers with siberian like tails, like the caspian tiger specimen at the turkish military school that has a very siberian like tail with the first 2 stripes going along it´s tail stead of forming rings!!! And the same regarding the collor of the stripes! Many siberian tigers have brownish stripes and many caspian with black stripes!!! take a look:

-The first photo is from the caspian tiger at the military school in Turkey! killed in 1910 is eastern anatolia! very siberian like tail!
-The second is from a siberian tigress with rings just like caspian tigers, specially the ones from around Iran!
-The others are tigers with brownish stripes and alternating patterns just like caspian tigers


It is impossible to distinguish caspian from siberian by their stripes and collor, after all they are the same subspecies that had a continuous distribution and bred for thousands of years!
