Fiji Whistler

[Phil Gregory <>]

Hi David,
There are two "Golden Whistlers' on Fiji, here is what the IOC list:
Gray, GR, 1860

White-throated Whistler P. vitiensis
utupuae Mayr, 1932      
ornata  Mayr, 1932      
kandavensis     Ramsay, EP, 1876        
lauana  Mayr, 1932      
vitiensis       Gray, GR, 1860  

Hartlaub, 1866  
Fiji Whistler P. graeffi
bella   Mayr, 1932      
koroana         Mayr, 1932      
torquata        Layard, EL, 1875        
aurantiiventris Seebohm, 1891   
ambigua         Mayr, 1932      
optata  Hartlaub, 1866  
graeffii        Hartlaub, 1866  

Birds on Taveuni and Viti Levu are Fiji Whistlers, those on Kandavu  
are White-throated; good to see this huge and overlumped complex  
finally getting unpicked, still some way to go I suspect.
