Description
Adults look similar to P. amethystinus and P. cinereiceps but distinguishable by brown crown, vinous-gray belly, buff undertail-coverts and less olive back (del Hoyo et al., 2017). Generally brown-colored, these medium-sized birds have a glossy reddish-violet patch on sides of the neck and warm, dark brown upper parts (BirdLife International, 2016). Some additional distinguishing features include a slightly darker nape compared to the crown, a narrow dark streak under the eye, black bill, dark pink feet with brown nails, and iris that is orange-red in color (McGregor, 1909). Based on size, the amethyst brown dove is the largest of the three, followed by the Mindanao brown dove and the white-eared brown dove being the smallest (P. Simpson, pers. Commun., September 11, 2017).
