seychelles blue-pigeon Alectroenas pulcherrimus

Medium-sized chunky pigeon that is dark blue with a pale gray hood and a warty patch of red bare skin on the face. Found in all habitats with trees, especially in areas with fruiting trees, though most common in montane forest. The common vocalization is a long, quick series of short growling notes. Dark blue coloration and pale head easily separate it from all other pigeons in its range.
