A small, mostly green fruit-dove with a blue forecrown and a yellow undertail. Blue forehead is bolder in males, bordered with a thin, well-defined yellow line. Juveniles show yellow fringing on wings. Occurs singly, or in groups at fruiting trees, within lowlands and lower hills in a variety of wooded areas, including forests, mangroves, and plantations. Told from other fruit-doves by the dark head with a blue forecrown, with the yellow line a further distinguishing feature in males. Call is a soft, descending, incessant “woo-oo.”
