Pigeons and Doves (Columbidae)

Grey-cheeked Green-pigeon (Treron griseicauda) - HBW 4, p. 197

French: Colombar à face grise German: Graumaskentaube Spanish: Vinago Carigrís
Other common names: Grey-faced (Thick-billed) Green-pigeon, Grey-cheeked Pigeon

Taxonomy: Treron griseicauda G. R. Gray, 1856, Java.
Sometimes considered to be a race of either T. pompadora or T. curvirostra; perhaps most closely allied to latter. Internal nomenclature of species has been much debated: Bonaparte's description was considered invalid, and replaced by a later description of same name by Wallace, attributable to Sulawesi, so nominate race was applied to Sulawesi birds; latter description may be pre-dated by one by Schlegel; however, Bonaparte's description now considered acceptable, and thus reinstated by most authors. Several other races proposed. Four subspecies recognized.
