  • ... that misidentifications of the crested cuckoo-dove have led to claims that the extinct Choiseul pigeon is still around? Source: Gibbs, David; Barnes, Eustace; Cox, John (2001). Pigeons and Doves: A Guide to the Pigeons and Doves of the World. Pica Press. pp. 278, 280. "Although nothing like R. crassirostris except in possessing a crest it is worth noting that in local folklore on Choiseul this extinct species is confused with R. crassirostris, leading to rumours that Microgoura is still extant."
