A potentially new taxon/species of "island thrush" found on Buru Island, Indonesia (May 2026), looks remarkably similar to the Eurasian Blackbird (Turdus merula).

Photos by: James Eaton/Birdtour Asia.

Sources: Search for Lost Birds, BirdLife International, PetaPixel

P.S.: BirdLife & IUCN treat the Island Thrush as a single species with multiple subspecies, while Avilist, eBird & Cornell treat them as 14 (!!!!) different species - all fall under the genus Turdus, alongside Eurasian Blackbird, American Robin, Fieldare, and all the other "true" thrushes.
