The tricolored grebe (Tachybaptus tricolor) is a bird in the family Podicipedidae sometimes considered conspecific with the little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis). It is native to maritime Southeast Asia and Australasia. [1] The IOC has split the bird; however, other taxonomic authorities still consider the birds conspecific.
The following subspecies are considered to be part of the tricolor group:
- Tachybaptus ruficollis vulcanorum ( Rensch, 1929): Sulawesi, North Maluku to New Guinea
- Tachybaptus ruficollis tricolor ( Gray, 1861): Java, Timor, Lesser Sundas, northeast New Guinea to Bougainville Island.
- Tachybaptus ruficollis collaris ( Mayr, 1945): Solomon Islands
