Field Notes

Description:

Ruddy Ground Doves are small short-tailed pigeons, 17 cm long. Adult males have a pale grey head and neck, and rich rufous upperparts, black-spotted on the wing coverts. The underparts are paler brown, the tail is edged black, and the underwings are cinnamon and black. The female is grey-brown rather than rufous, and has less contrast between head and body than the male.

Habitat:

Near Cerro Chato
