Description
The plain pigeon is a large-bodied bird (38 cm [15 in]) that superficially resembles the common city pigeon. At a distance it appears pale blue-gray overall. The head, hindneck, breast, and part of the folded wing are colored with a red-wine wash. When folded, the wing shows a white leading edge; in flight, it forms a conspicuous wing bar. Legs and feet are dark red. The female is slightly smaller and duller than the male. Juveniles are browner overall, with pale wing margins and dark eyes. 
Size
39 - 41 cm
Feeding Habits
Plain Pigeon predominantly consume fruits, berries, seeds, buds, and leaves. They forage on various trees, showing a preference for the fruits of royal palms and the ateye tree. Their diet is supplemented with flowers and buds from species like Cestrum diurnum and Didymopanax morototoni.
Habitat
The plain Pigeon thrives in a varied range of habitats, predominantly in forests, both in lowlands and highlands, including pine and broadleaf types, as well as in mangroves and swampy regions. It also resides in montane rain forests and makes daily ventures into lower elevation regions for foraging. Although it was formerly more common in lowland forests, current populations are now also found in secondary growth areas with a mix of native and introduced vegetation, and even in human-modified landscapes like farmlands and cattle pastures, showing a certain degree of adaptability across the broader Caribbean region.
