Abstract

Plaintive Cuckoo (Cacomantis merulinus) is a small cuckoo species in Family Cuculidae that is mainly distributed in the Oriental Region. On May 1. 2016, one juvenile Plaintive Cuckoo was found at Somaemuldo Island, Korea ($34^{\circ}37^{\prime}38.73^{{\prime}{\prime}}N$ $128^{\circ}33^{\prime}0.44^{{\prime}{\prime}}E$). The bird was identified as C. merulinus by its morphological traits, especially primary projection, the shape of bars on tertials, and pale supercilium. These characteristics were distinctive from other similar small cuckoos in genus Cacomantis and Cuculus, during the field observation and examination of photographs. This record is the first of this species in Korea, and the northernmost record of this species.

우는뻐꾸기 (Plantive Cuckoo; Cacomantis merulinus, 가칭)는 두견이목의 소형 뻐꾸기류로, 인도에서 인도차이나반도와 남중국을 따라 필리핀과 인도네시아, 말레이 반도까지 분포하는 종이다. 2016년 5월 1일 1년생 어린새가 소매물도에서 관찰되었으며, 첫째 날개깃 돌출, 셋째날개깃의 줄무늬 형태, 밝은 색의 눈썹, 몸 크기 등을 근거로 우는뻐꾸기로 동정하였다. 이 기록은 한반도에서 우는뻐꾸기의 첫 기록이며, 일본과 중국 북부, 극동러시아를 포함한 동북아시아에서 Cacomantis 속 및 본 종의 첫 기록이다. 번식기 수컷의 울음소리가 마치 사람이 통곡하는 듯한 울음소리를 가져, 이를 반영한 영문명, 말레이어 등의 지역명을 따라 본 종의 국명을 "우는뻐꾸기"로 제안한다.
