Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A large, long-tailed green fruit-dove with pale grayish underparts, except for a deep maroon undertail and a small dark throat patch. A bird of the canopy and subcanopy of forested lowlands and less often foothills. Can be seen in company with other fruit-doves. In its limited range, the mostly gray underside and deep chestnut undertail render it unmistakable. Repetitive song is a long series of soft, deep “woop” notes given around 10 times in succession.
