About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
Medium dove, 26–29 cm, brown above with a grey forehead, rufous cheeks, vinaceous-pink breast, and white tail corners. Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forest and secondary growth from Colombia and Venezuela to Bolivia and southeastern Brazil. Terrestrial frugivore and granivore. 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.
