Columba squamosa), also known as the red-necked pigeon, is a bird belonging to the family Columbidae.

The biodiversity of the species is threatened due to hunting in regions of the Caribbean, especially considering their high abundance in Puerto Rico.

Scaly-naped pigeons are usually found alone or in small groups.

The scaly-naped pigeon lays one to two eggs in a nest constructed mostly in trees.

The species feeds primarily on the fruits and seeds of trees.
