Slender cuckoo-dove, 32–35 cm, uniform warm cinnamon-rufous with minimal barring and a relatively short tail. Restricted to Enggano Island off the southwestern coast of Sumatra. Inhabits dense lowland forest. Frugivore. Vulnerable due to extremely small range and ongoing forest loss on the island.
Medium-large pigeon, 30–34 cm, grey with distinctive white spots on the wings and a pink-washed breast. Inhabits open and semi-open habitats, woodland edges, and farmland from Bolivia and central Brazil to Uruguay and Argentina. Granivore of seeds and agricultural grains. Common and adaptable. Least Concern.
