Oberholser's fruit dove (Ramphiculus gularis) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It was formerly named P. epius, but it has since been revised to the earlier name P. gularis.[1][2] It is endemic to Sulawesi. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Oberholser's fruit dove was formerly placed in the genus Ptilinopus. A molecular genetic study published in 2014 found that the fruit dove genus Ptilinopus was paraphyletic.[3] In a move towards creating monophyletic genera, nine species including Oberholser's fruit dove were moved from Ptilinopus to Ramphiculus.[4]
