About the Black-chinned Fruit Dove
The black-chinned fruit dove (Ramphiculus leclancheri), also known as the black-throated fruit dove or Leclancher's dove, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found in the lowland forests of the Philippines and Taiwan. This species was formerly placed in the genus Ptilinopus. The black-chinned fruit dove was formerly placed in the genus Ptilinopus. A molecular genetic study published in 2014 found that the fruit dove genus Ptilinopus was paraphyletic. In a move towards creating monophyletic genera, nine species including the black-chinned fruit dove were moved from Ptilinopus to Ramphiculus. Four subspecies are recognized: R. l. taiwanus (Ripley, SD, 1962) – Taiwan; Batan, Calayan and Camiguin Norte islands (northern Philippines)
