Shining bronze cuckoo
The shining bronze cuckoo (''Chrysococcyx lucidus'') is a species of cuckoo in the Cuculidae family, found in Australia, Indonesia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. It was previously also known as ''Chalcites lucidus''.
It is the world’s smallest cuckoo, being only in length, and parasitises chiefly dome-shaped nests of various ''Gerygone'' species, having a range that largely corresponds with the distribution of that genus. It may also parasitise other Acanthizidae species, and is also the most southerly ranging brood parasitic bird species in the world, extending to 45°S in New Zealand.
==Taxonomy==
The German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin described the shining bronze cuckoo in 1788 as ''Cuculus lucidus'', from a specimen collected from Queen Charlotte Sound in New Zealand. John Latham described the golden bronze cuckoo as ''Cuculus plagosus'' from New South Wales in 1801, and the two were classified as separate species for many years. However the two are now considered conspecific. Common names in New Zealand include pipiwharauroa and whistler.
