Instantiate std::thread with a function that expects a function as a parameter

I have a function that expects another function as a parameter, as follows:

void ModbusAgent::poolingThread(int position, std::function<int(int, uint16_t*)> readFunction)

In this way, I'm creating a bind as follows:

std::function<int(int, uint16_t*)> readFunction = std::bind(&ModbusAgent::readRegister, this, std::placeholders::_1, std::placeholders::_2);

When I call my the poolingThread function with the following line, it works:

this->poolingThread(position, readFunction);

However, the following:

std::thread(&ModbusAgent::pool, this, position, readFunction);

I get an error:

How can I solve that?
