Rupephaps
''Rupephaps taketake'', also referred to as the Saint Bathans Pigeon, is an extinct species of pigeon from the Miocene of New Zealand. It is the first species of columbid to be described from pre-Pliocene fossil deposits in the Australasian region.〔 ==Description== The pigeon was described from fossil material (a left coracoid) collected in 2008 from the Saint Bathans Fauna, above the base of the Bannockburn Formation, by the Manuherikia River in the Central Otago region of the South Island. It was a large pigeon, most similar to, and apparently most closely related to, the clade containing ''Hemiphaga'', ''Lopholaimus'' and ''Gymnophaps'', especially the former.〔
