Bismarck Island Thrush
Turdus heinrothi Rothschild & Hartert, EJO, 1924
Turdidae — Thrushes
Bismarck Island Thrush, Turdus heinrothi, is a passerine thrush of the Bismarck Archipelago in Papua New Guinea. It belongs to the family Turdidae and was described by Rothschild and Hartert in 1924. The bird is endemic to islands in this part of Australasia. Three subspecies are recognised: T. h. heinrothi from Mussau Island, T. h. tolokiwae from Tolokiwa Island, and T. h. beehleri from New Ireland Island. It was once treated as part of the island thrush, but is now regarded as a separate species.
