The Timor boobook (Ninox fusca) is a species of owl in the family Strigidae. It is found on Timor, Roma, Leti and Semau Islands in the eastern Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia.[2][3]
It has a more grey-brown plumage with no red tinge, unlike other subspecies. It has grey streaks on its belly and white spots on its secondaries, inner wing-coverts and nape.[2] It was described by French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1817 as Strix fusca.[4] Austrian ornithologist Carl Eduard Hellmayr noted that it closely resembled the Australian boobook and concluded it was probably a subspecies of the latter,[5] and Mayr classified it as a subspecies in 1943.[6] Genetic and call analysis show it to be markedly divergent to the Australian populations of the Australian boobook, leading Gwee and colleagues to suggest it be reclassified as a separate species.[7] Its calls are shorter and more frequent than the Australian boobook.[8] It was reclassified as a distinct species in 2019.
