ウエタルバト Pampusana hoedtii

A fairly large ground-dwelling forest dove. Male is mostly dark with a diagnostic pale head and breast. Upperparts are rufous-brown, head pale gray, belly blackish-brown, and throat, neck, and breast cream-colored. Female entirely brown, with head, neck, and tail considerably more rufous than rest of body. Singles and small groups inhabit forested lowlands on Timor and Wetar islands. Female distinguished from Little and Timor Cuckoo-Doves by shorter tail, dark eyes, and absence of barring. The species gives a two-note hooting call with a short introductory note and an upslurred second one: “wu-wOOYOOP.”
