Australian Ground Pigeons
Geophaps
Geophaps is a small genus of doves in the order Columbiformes. Established by George Robert Gray, it contains three extant species. A fourth species, the crested pigeon is placed within the Geophaps genus in some works. The plumage and distribution of Geophaps species suggests that all species within the genus have formed from a common ancestor and that through adaptive radiation they have varied greatly in size, shape and ecology
