unresolved overloaded function type c++ threading recursive function with parameters

I am trying to create a thread for a fill function with multiple parameters that calls itself: Definition is:

void fill(list<piece> piecesX, list<list<piece>> ply, list<list<list<piece>>> branch, list<list<piece>> branchOrigin, list<int> branchPoints, unsigned char color)

the thread initialization code is as follows:

thread t1(fill, pieces, pl, bran, brOrig, brPt, white);

I keep getting the error:

Unresolved Overloaded function type... no matching function call.

Thank you in advance.
