Habitat
Bare-faced Ground Dove's habitat is predominantly found in subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, specifically within the puna and arid temperate zones of the Andean slopes and Altiplano. These birds typically inhabit altitudes ranging from 2000 to 4500 meters, although they can be found at lower elevations in western Peru and between 2500 and 3500 meters in northwest Argentina. Their environment is often characterized by sandy grounds with scattered rocks and sparse vegetation, including cactus land and bushy or lightly wooded slopes. Bare-faced Ground Dove tends to avoid areas with dense stands of Puya where Metriopelia melanoptera is present. Additionally, bare-faced Ground Dove is known to adapt to urban settings, thriving in towns and major cities, and often roosting on sheltered rock ledges or in man-made structures.
