Attractive dove endemic to Galápagos. Quite distinctive, with reddish-brown head and breast, blue circle around eye, red legs, and bold black-and-white markings on wings and head. Favors arid areas with abundant cacti; usually not found in towns. Largely terrestrial, but sometimes perches up on a bush or cactus. Usually shows little or no fear of people.
