Columba [larvata or simplex] (Eastern Lemon or Forest Dove)

Eastern Lemon or Forest Dove

Columba [larvata or simplex] (= Columba larvata) (Temminck, 1809)

The lemon dove or cinnamon dove is a species of bird in the pigeon family Columbidae found in montane forests of sub-Saharan Africa. The São Tomé lemon dove is usually treated as a subspecies. The lemon dove has a generally brownish-grey plumage with a cinnamon brown breast. Males have a greenish-glossed neck and white markings on the head, and females and juveniles are rather more brown and have grey facial markings. This dove is a common species, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern". Source: Wikipedia
