Thomas MacQueen

Thomas MacQueen

General Thomas MacQueen (1792-1840) was a British army officer in the 45th Bengal Native Infantry regiment of the British East India Company.

Whilst still a major, MacQueen presented a specimen of a bustard species he had shot to the British Museum (Natural History) and the bird was subsequently named for him as the Macqueen's Bustard, "Chlamydotis macqueenii".
