African collared dove

The African collared dove (Streptopelia roseogrisea) is a small dove found in the Sahel, northern parts of the Horn of Africa and southwestern Arabia.

Its upper body, from shoulders to tail, is a pale grayish brown, though the wing edge has a bluish tinge.

Head, neck and breast are pinkish shading to white on the chin and belly.

It is reported to have been introduced into New Zealand, but it is more likely that the birds there are descended from domestic Barbary doves.

Streptopelia roseogrisea has a diet of grass seeds and other plants.
