CACOMANTIS S. MÜLLER, 1843 View in CoL
CACOMANTIS FLABELLIFORMIS ( LATHAM, 1801) View in CoL , FAN-TAILED CUCKOO
Material: Hopoate: Hop.1 4.TP 1.1 0, dR hum; NISP = 1, MNI = 1.
Remarks: Cacomantis flabelliformis is resident in the tropical Pacific from Papua New Guinea to Fiji and in Australia ( Higgins, 1999; Dickinson & Remsen, 2013). This Tongan specimen was a good match in both size and morphology for SAM B.55124, a specimen from South Australia. It might represent a vagrant from or an extension of the former range of the population of the Fijian form of this species.
