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.

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 inhabits a variety of forests across the broader Caribbean, including lowland and highland regions, pine and broadleaf forests, and mangroves. Adaptability allows them to occupy secondary growth and human-altered landscapes, such as farmland and pastures, though they originally favored lowland forests and still forage daily in lower elevations.
