🐔Australian Brushturkey

Alectura lathami J.E.Gray, 1831

오스트레일리아숲칠면조(Alectura lathami), 흔히 부시터키 또는 스크럽터키라고 불리는 이 새는 메거포드과에 속하는 대형 매개포드의 일종이다. 이 새는 퀸즐랜드 최북단에서 뉴사우스웨일스주의 남부 해안까지 이르는 오스트레일리아 동부에 분포하며, 캥거루섬에도 유입되었다. 이 새는 메거포드과에서 가장 큰 현존하는 구성원이며 오스트레일리아 3종의 고유종 중 하나이다. 외형적 유사성에도 불구하고, 오스트레일리아숲칠면조는 아메리카 칠면조나 오스트레일리아느시 (중앙 오스트레일리아에서는 현지에서 부시터키로도 알려져 있다)와는 큰 관련이 없으며, 가장 가까운 근연종은 고기수염숲칠면조, 와이게오숲칠면조, 그리고 무덤새이다.
