Micronesian Rufous Fantail
Rhipidura versicolor
Small, active songbird with long, pale-tipped tail and warm brownish-orange on the forehead, rump, and tail base. Grayish brown above and pale below overall, with a white throat and black-speckled breast. Frequently cocks and fans tail. Endemic to the Mariana Islands (Saipan, Tinian, Agiguan, and Rota) and Yap, in the Carolina Islands. Extinct on Guam. Inhabits a wide range of habitats, from remnant native forests to towns. High-pitched, tinkling song often has a descending quality. Formerly grouped with other closely related species under “Rufous Fantail.”
分类信息
The Micronesian rufous fantail was formally described in 1872 by the German ornithologists Gustav Hartlaub and Otto Finsch based on specimens collected by the Polish naturalist John Stanislaw Kubary on the island of Yap in Micronesia. They placed it with the fantails in the genus Rhipidura and coined the binomial name Rhipidura versicolor. The specific epithet is Latin meaning "various colours" (from vertere, "to change" and color "colour"). The Micronesian rufous fantail was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the rufous fantail (renamed the Australian rufous fantail) (Rhipidura rufifrons) but is now treated as a separate species mainly based on the genetic differences.<p>Four subspecies are recognised:
