Subspecies
Affinities unclear. May form a superspecies with Palau Ground-dove (Alopecoenas canifrons ), and these two also appear to be related to the White-bibbed Ground-Dove (Alopecoenas jobiensis ) superspecies. Alternatively, may be related to Shy Ground-dove (Alopecoenas stairi ) and Santa Cruz Ground-Dove (Alopecoenas sanctaecrucis ), and more distantly to Palau Ground-dove (Alopecoenas canifrons ) and Wetar Ground-dove (Alopecoenas hoedtii ).
The following 7 subspecies are recognised:
beccarii (Salvadori, 1876) - Mountains of New Guinea.
johannae (Sclater, PL, 1877) - Karkar I, Bismarck Archipelago (except ranges of following two races) and Nissan I (east of southern New Ireland). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Eastern Bronze Ground-dove (Alopecoenas johannae ).
eichhorni (Hartert, 1924) - St Matthias Group (Mussau, Emira).
admiralitatis (Rothschild & Hartert, 1914) - Admiralty Is (Manus).
intermedius (Rothschild and Hartert, 1905) - Western Solomon Is. (Bougainville, Gizo and New Georgia Group).
solomonensis (Ogilvie-Grant, 1888) - Eastern Solomon Is (including Rennell).
