Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Squat ground-dwelling dove with shimmering green wings. Note chocolate-brown body. Found in forest and forest edge, where it forages on the ground; often flushed at close quarters with a loud wing-clatter. Usually solitary, occasionally in flocks or small groups. Song is an accelerating and rising series of mournful coos.
