Fiji Island Thrush
Turdus ruficeps (Ramsay, EP, 1875)
Turdidae — Thrushes
Fiji Island Thrush, Turdus ruficeps, is a thrush in the family Turdidae and a passerine found in Fiji. It was first described in 1875 by Ramsay. The species is split into five recognised subspecies, with forms recorded from Kadavu, Viti Levu, Ovalau, Yasawa, Koro, Vanua Levu, Gau and Taveuni. It was once treated as part of the island thrush group, but is now recognised separately. Its type locality is Kadavu, and the name ruficeps refers to a red-headed feature.
