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.
