Philippine Cuckoo-Dove
Macropygia tenuirostris Bonaparte, 1854
Columbidae — Pigeons, Doves
Philippine Cuckoo-Dove, Macropygia tenuirostris, is a pigeon in the family Columbidae that breeds in the Philippines and Borneo. It was described by Bonaparte in 1854. The species was once treated as part of other cuckoo-doves, but is now recognised on its own. Four subspecies are accepted, including forms from the Philippines, Borneo and islands in the north of the archipelago, with one also recorded from Lanyu Island. It is a widespread bird with a stable population, and has been listed as least concern since 1998.
