Thick-billed Ground Dove

Small ground dove, 20–23 cm, with dark brown upperparts, a grey head, and a notably thick, robust bill. Known from the Solomon Islands; last confirmed record in 1904. Critically Endangered (possibly Extinct) due to deforestation, hunting, and introduced predators throughout the Solomon Islands.

Adamawa Turtle-dove

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.
