Zoothera heinei Cabanis, 1850

Taxonomy: Oreocincla Heinei Cabanis, 1850, Japan; error = Queensland, north Australia.Belongs in a group, possibly a superspecies, which also contains Z. dauma, Z. imbricata, Z. lunulata, Z. machiki, Z. talaseae, Z. margaretae, Z. turipavae, Z. monticola and Z. marginata, perhaps including also Z. mollissima and Z. dixoni. In the past was treated as a race of Z. dauma. Has also been considered conspecific with Z. lunulata, but in Australia the two occur sympatrically without interbreeding, and also differ in song and egg colour; supposed intergrades probably immature Z. lunulata. Four subspecies recognized. (source: Handbook of the Birds of World)
