Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Columbiformes > Columbidae > Streptopelia > Streptopelia roseogriseaStreptopelia roseogrisea (African Collared Dove)Synonyms: Columba roseogrisea; Columbam roseogrisea (homotypic); Streptopelia risoria (pro parte); Streptopelia risoria risoria The African collared dove (Streptopelia roseogrisea) is a small dove found in Africa in the arid region south of the Sahara. Its range extends in a band right across the continent, and into southern Arabia. Although it lives in arid lands, it is found around water sources. This bird is typically around 26 cm in length. Its upper body, from shoulders to tail, is a pale grayish brown, though the wing edge has a bluish tinge. Flight feathers are darker, and nearly black. Head, neck and breast are pinkish shading to white on the chin and belly. There is little sexual dimorphism. |
