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.
