Hi to all,
While checking out a Sibley-Monroe Birds of the World list I
came across Crested Pigeon for which they give the Latin name Geophaps
lophotes, on checking my P&K and Morcombe I found that they have it listed
under Ocyphaps lophotes.
Also Simpson & Day (fifth edition) have a punt each way by designating the
Crested Pigeon as Ocyphaps(Geophaps) lophotes.
Could anyone tell me the reason for this?
Regards,
Phil Joy
