Painting of an albino dodo based on a Dutch painting by Pieter Withoos of a white specimen taken to Europe, previously mislabeled as "Raphus solitarius". The "Réunion Solitaire" (Raphus solitarius) was classified as a relative of the Dodo.That bird was at various times classified as Victoriornis imperialis (the "Réunion Solitaire" or "White Dodo" of descriptions and paintings - the latter obviously show an albino dodo from Mauritius) and Borbonibis latipes (from the first ibis bones found, before a connection to the solitaire reports had been made). In fact it was the Réunion Sacred Ibis or Réunion Flightless Ibis (Threskiornis solitarius), an extinct bird species that was native to the island of Réunion.

Extinct birds : an attempt to unite in one volume a short account of those birds which have become extinct in historical times : that is, within the last six or seven hundred years : to which are added a few which still exist, but are on the verge of extinction. By Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild (8 February 1868 – 27 August 1937).
