The Sundaic island-thrush (Turdus javanicus), also known as the Sunda island-thrush,[2] is a species of passerine in the family Turdidae. It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia. Prior to 2024, the Sundaic island-thrush was considered to be eight separate subspecies of Island thrush. It has the largest distribution in the Island thrush complex, ranging from northern Sumatra south to Java, with a disjunct population in northern Borneo.

Taxonomy
editThe Sundaic island-thrush's nominate subspecies, T. j. javanicus was first described in 1821 by American naturalist Thomas Horsfield as Turdus javanicus.[2] It was later considered to be a subspecies of Island thrush. In 2024, following a phylogenic study of Island thrush subspecies in 2023, the Island thrush was split into 17 different species by the IOC and Clements checklist.[3][4][5] It currently has 8 recognized subspecies:[2]
- T. j. biesenbachi (Stresemann, 1930) - Found in West Java in the Mount Papandayan region
- T. j. fumidus (Müller, 1844) - Found in West Java in the Mount Gede region
- T. j. indrapurae (Robinson & Kloss, 1916) - Found in Southwest Sumatra
- T. j. javanicus (Horsfield, 1821) - Found in Central Java
- T. j. loeseri (Meyer de Schauensee, 1939) - Found in Northern Sumatra
- T. j. seebohmi (Sharpe, 1888) - Found in Northern Borneo
- T. j. stresemann (Bartels, 1938) - Found in West Java in the Mount Lawu region
- T. j. whiteheadi (Seebohm, 1893) - Found in East Java
