Small dove with square tail. Found primarily in western Ecuador but also in far southern Colombia and northern Peru. Occurs in lowlands and foothills, where it is seen in pairs or small flocks in open agricultural areas or brushy woodland. Male is overall pale grayish-brown with a blue-gray crown and nape and black spots on the wings. Legs are pink. Female is similar to male but somewhat warmer brown, and she lacks gray on the head and has duller legs. In flight, both sexes lack rufous in the wings.
