The Solomons island thrush (Turdus kulambangrae), also known as the Guadalcanal island thrush, is a species of passerine in the family Turdidae. It is endemic to the Solomon Islands. Prior to 2024, it was considered to be two different subspecies of the island thrush.
Taxonomy
The Solomons island thrush was first described in 1941 by ornithologist Ernst Mayr as a subspecies of island thrush. However following a 2023 phylogenic study of the island thrush complex, the island thrush was split into 17 species by the IOC and Clements checklist.
There are currently two recognized subspecies:
T. k. kulambangrae Mayr, 1941 - Found on Kolombangara
T. k. sladeni Cain & Galbraith, 1955 - Found on Guadalcanal
