Thick-billed Green-pigeon (Treron curvirostra) - HBW 4, p. 197
French: Colombar à gros bec
German: Papageischnabeltaube
Spanish: Vinago Piquigrueso
Other common names: Thick-billed Pigeon
Taxonomy: Columba curvirostra J. F. Gmelin, 1789, Tanna Island, Vanuatu; error = Rawang, Selangor, Malaysia.
Closely related to T. pompadora; these two species are associated, and both have large number of island forms; species limits in this complex have been discussed by a number of authorities, but remain uncertain; present species possibly best considered as forming a superspecies with T. griseicauda, T. floris, T. teysmannii and T. psittacea, though all four have been considered conspecific with present species or, rarely, with T. pompadora. Numerous races have been described, based on minor differences of questionable significance. Monotypic.
Distribution: Nepal, NE India (E to Arunachal Pradesh, S to Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland) and Bangladesh to S China (W Yunnan, Hainan) S through Indochina and Malay Peninsula to Sumatra and surrounding islands, Deli I (S of W Java), Borneo and W Philippines (Mindoro, Palawan, Balabac).
