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.
Small-medium green-pigeon, 23–26 cm, entirely green with a yellower breast; male has a small orange-buff breast patch. Restricted to the Lesser Sunda Islands of Flores, Lombok, Sumbawa, and adjacent small islands. Inhabits lowland forest and forest edge. Frugivore of figs and berries. Least Concern.
