Description
The Barusan cuckoo-dove (Macropygia modiglianii) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found on three of the western Sumatran islands. The Barusan cuckoo-dove was formerly considered as a subspecies of the ruddy cuckoo-dove. It was promoted to species status based on the results of an acoustic study published in 2016. Three subspecies are recognised, each endemic to a specific island: M. m. modiglianii Salvadori, 1887 – Nias Island M. m. elassa Oberholser, 1912 – Mentawai Islands M. m. hypopercna Oberholser, 1912 – Simeulue Island
