It seems that most of the marquesan flycatchers or monarchs have there own species-status now. I have awaited it.
I have mentioned them as distinct species a long time before. And the most of them are extinct now.

Common Name/s UA POU MONARCH (E) Species Authority Murphy & Mathews, 1928 Taxonomic Notes Pomarea mendozae (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into P. mendozae, P. mira and P. nukuhivae following Cibois et al. (2004). Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria EX ver 3.1 (2001) Year Assessed 2006 Assessor/s BirdLife International Evaluator/s Butchart, S. & Temple, H. (BirdLife International Red List Authority) Justification Pomarea mira was formerly endemic to the island of Ua Pou in the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. The last record was in March 1985, when two birds in immature plumage were seen in Hakahetau valley6 It was not located during 1989, 1990 or during intensive searches in 1998 and 19994,6, and is considered extinct. This mainly insectivorous species occurred in forested valleys at high elevations and in degraded forest at all altitudes (probably originally preferring lowland forests which are now destroyed). All the Marquesas Islands have been devastated by intense grazing and fire, and much of the original dry forest has been reduced to grassland, and upland forest to relict forest patches. Introduced species are also likely to have played a role in the species's demise, especially black rat Rattus rattus. Distribution Country Names French Polynesia [RE] (Marquesas [RE]) Summary Documentation System Terrestrial Major Habitat/s (terms) 1.6 Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist 1.9 Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Montane 11.6 Subtropical/Tropical Heavily Degraded Former Forest Major Threat/s (terms) 1.5 Habitat Loss/Degradation - Invasive alien species (past) 1.7 Habitat Loss/Degradation - Fires (past) 2.2 Invasive alien species (directly affecting the species) - Predators (past) www.redlist.org/search/details.php?species=61947&tab=all |

"However, a recent unconfirmed report of an adult male observed on Ua Pou in 2010 has raised hopes that the species may be extant and so its status has been changed to Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct)." Source: www.iucnredlist.org/details/160031806/0 |
