Description
The Ecuadorian ground dove is 18 cm (7.1 in) long and weighs about 57 g (2.0 oz). The male's forehead and face are grayish pink that darkens to a deep mauve pink on the breast and underparts. Its crown and nape are bluish gray and the upperparts brownish gray. The closed wing shows lines of black spots. The central tail feathers are gray and the rest black; the outermost have white tips. The female is browner than the male with less of a pink wash.
Range & habitat
The nominate subspecies of Ecuadorian ground dove is found from Esmeraldas Province in north-western Ecuador south to Peru's far northern Department of Tumbes. C. b. dorsti is found separately, in the Marañon Valley of north-western Peru. They inhabit a range of landscapes including dry open semi-deciduous and deciduous woodland and thicker woodland, gardens, agricultural areas, and more humid young secondary forest. In elevation the species ranges from sea level to 2,000 m (6,600 ft).
