About These Birds
Plain-breasted Ground Dove
Very small dove, 14–17 cm, plain grey-brown with minimal scaling, a pale breast, and a small reddish bill. Inhabits open savanna, grassland, and farmland from Mexico to Bolivia, Brazil, and Trinidad. Granivore of tiny seeds on the ground. Often overlooked due to small size and cryptic plumage. Least Concern.

Medium dove, 27–30 cm, with warm rufous-brown upperparts, a black neck collar, and a deep orange-red breast. Endemic to the highland plateaus and montane grasslands of northern Nigeria and Cameroon. Granivore of grass seeds and cultivated grains. Poorly studied and localised range. Least Concern.
