151 : Spotted Dove


Spotted Dove - Stigmatopelia chinensis

A rather handsome new dove species for me photograhed in Karnataka on the second day in the field of my "Big Bangalore Bird Bonanza". This is a widesread resident in India. The pink wash of the breast and spotted almost chequered pattern on the side of the neck lift it up and above the ordinary such as Collared Dove.
