Henderson archaic pigeon Henderson archaic pigeon The Henderson archaic pigeon ("Bountyphaps obsoleta"), or Henderson Island archaic pigeon, is an extinct bird in the Columbidae, or pigeon family. It was described in 2008 as a new genus and species from subfossil remains found on Henderson Island in the Pitcairn Group of south-eastern Polynesia. The genus was named for both the ship HMS "Bounty" with which, following the famous mutiny, Europeans first discovered the Pitcairn Islands, and for the former bounty the bird provided as food; with the Greek "phaps" (wild pigeon). The specific epithet comes from the Latin adjective for "extinct" or "forgotten about".
