 The term " solitaire " has also been used for other species with solitary habits , such as the Réunion ibis . Some scientists believed that Réunion was home not only to a white dodo , but also to a white bird similar to the Rodrigues solitaire , both of which are now believed to be misinterpretations of old reports of the ibis . An atypical 17th @-@ century description of a dodo and bones found on Rodrigues , now known to have belonged to the Rodrigues solitaire , led Abraham Dee Bartlett to name a new species , Didus nazarenus ; it is now a junior synonym of this species .
