SUBSPECIES

Eurasian Thick-knee (distinctus)
SCI Name: Burhinus oedicnemus distinctus
distinctus
L. distinctus distinct  < distinguere  to separate.
• "In my paper on the birds of Gran Canaria I gave a description of the Thick-knees which I obtained in this island and which were remarkable for their almost pure white underparts, the markings upon the breast and flanks being in consequence much bolder.  Other differences are also noted ('Ibis,' 1912, p. 584).  I therefore propose to name the form inhabiting the western Canary group, Œdicnemus œdicnemus distinctus, subsp. nov." (Bannerman 1914) (subsp. Burhinus oedicnemus).
• "2.  Coryphotriccus albovittatus distinctus subsp. nov.  ...  Similar to C. albovittatus (Lawrence), from line of Panama Railway, but decidedly larger; back, etc., much grayer olive; yellow of under parts paler (light canary yellow instead of nearly lemon yellow); and blackish area on side of head much broader." (Ridgway 1908) (subsp. Conopias albovittatus).
