Megapodes (Megapodiidae)

Sula Scrubfowl (Megapodius bernsteinii) - HBW 2, p. 307

French: Mégapode de Bernstein German: Sulahuhn Spanish: Talégalo de Sula

Taxonomy: Megapodius Bernsteinii Schlegel, 1866, Sula Islands.
Formerly included in M. freycinet. Generally considered to form part of the M. freycinet superspecies. Birds from Peleng I (Banggai) have been accorded separate race perrufus, but observed differences in overall plumage tones usually attributed to individual variation; this race has alternatively been assigned to M. reinwardt, presumably in error. Monotypic.

Distribution: Sula and Banggai Is.
