Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A relatively slender fruit-dove that appears mostly green with a greenish belly, a silver chest and head, a magenta forehead, and an orange bill. Similar to Atoll Fruit-Dove, but much more boldly colored, with dark instead of pink legs. The two species are unlikely to be found on the same islands. Call is usually a couple of longer “woo” notes followed by an accelerated “laughing.”
