About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
Small dove, 18–22 cm, pale grey with white wing stripe and dark-tipped tail. Widespread in open and semi-open habitats from Brazil and Bolivia south to central Argentina and Uruguay. Granivore of seeds. Common in agricultural areas and grasslands. Least Concern.
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.
