The Common Emerald Dove, also called just the Emerald Dove and the
Green-winged Dove, has a wide range from the Indian sub-continent
through Southeast Asia to north-eastern Australia. |
 |
 |
|
The male (above left) has a grey crown bordered with white and a
white "shoulder" at the top of the wing. The female (above right)
has none or only a faint white mark on her upper wing and a thin
white eyebrow with pinkish brown crown matching her body plumage.
Both have pinkish brown bodies and green wings which can be
iridescent in the right light. |

 |
|
As expected with their extensive range, there are several
sub-species. |
