http://hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/people/fry/MolEcol.pdf http://hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/people/fry/MolEcol.pdf has a table of π for subspecies of the song sparrow (Melospiza melodia). The smallest value on that list is 0.00095 or 1 in 1052.
The next smallest values are 0.00171 and 0.00204 while the largest is 0.00800 .
For the rock pigeon (~12 recognized subspecies), π = 3.6E-3 (1 in 277) says http://www.chinabird.org/news/Science-2013-Shapiro-science.pdf http://www.chinabird.org/news/Science-2013-Shapiro-science.p... .
Mice (three main lineages) also have a larger value of π than humans, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2219490/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2219490/ :
> This study allows us to compare patterns of DNA sequence variation in mice to patterns seen in humans, the only other mammalian species for which extensive population samples of DNA sequence variation have been obtained. Levels of variation on the X chromosome in mice are nearly identical to levels of nucleotide diversity at X-linked introns in humans (π = 0.07%; Hammer et al. 2004), although levels of variation on the autosomes appear to be roughly twice as high in mice (π = 0.26%: Table 4) as in humans (π = 0.11%; Li and Sadler 1991; Aquadro et al. 2001).
These are yet more examples which demonstrate that human genetic diversity, despite the many claims by MustardTiger, is not greater than "virtually all subspecies distinctions made in the animal kingdom".
