White-gorgeted Fantail
Rhipidura coultasi Mayr, 1931
Rhipiduridae — Fantails
White-gorgeted Fantail, Rhipidura coultasi, is a passerine found on Malaita in the Solomon Islands, where it breeds in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. It belongs to the family Rhipiduridae and was described by Mayr in 1931. It is now treated as a separate species and has no recognised subspecies. Compared with the white-winged fantail, it is larger, with a grey back, brownish black inner secondaries edged narrowly in white, a white lower throat, and larger drop-shaped breast spots.
