About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
Small quail-dove, 25–28 cm, with a white forehead and face contrasting with a grey crown, rufous-brown back, and pale buff underparts. Endemic to Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), inhabiting highland forest. Terrestrial frugivore and granivore. Near Threatened due to ongoing deforestation.
Medium-large terrestrial pigeon, 30–33 cm, similar to New Guinea Bronzewing but with a white head (not just forehead). Confined to lowland forests of New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago. Feeds on seeds and fallen fruits on the forest floor. Least Concern.
