The Moluccan island thrush (Turdus deningeri), also known as the Sula island thrush,{{cite web |title=Sula Island-Thrush |url=https://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/species.jsp?lang=EN&avibaseid=3523C781F9ECC11A |website=Avibase |access-date=20 October 2024}} is a species of passerine bird in the thrush family Turdidae. It is endemic to Indonesia. Prior to 2024 it was considered to be two separate subspecies of the island thrush.
Taxonomy
The Moluccan island thrush was formally described in 1912 by the German ornithologist Erwin Stresemann based on specimens collected at an altitude of between {{convert|7000|and|8300|ft|m|order=flip}} on the central mountains of the island of Seram in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. He coined the binomial name Turdus deningeri where the specific epithet was chosen to honour the German zoologist and expedition leader {{interlanguage link|Karl Deninger|de}} (1878-1917).{{ cite journal | last=Stresemann | first=Erwin | author-link=Erwin Stresemann | date=1912 | title=Turdus deningeri, sp. n. | journal=Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club | volume=31 | pages=4-5 | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/34825888 }}{{ cite book | editor1-last=Mayr | editor1-first=Ernst | editor1-link=Ernst Mayr | editor2-last=Paynter | editor2-first=Raymond A.
