The power spectra of several δ Scuti stars show close peaks with similar frequencies and amplitudes. Apart from possible observational problems, this can be interpreted in terms of two separate pulsation modes with similar, close frequencies or an artifact of amplitude variability of a single pulsation mode. If sufficient data are available, it is possible to distinguish between the two hypotheses on the basis of expected systematic phase changes associated with the amplitude variations of an assumed single frequency. This phase-shift test has been applied to modes found for BI CMi. In this paper we present the evidence for one of the close frequency pairs found in this star.
