The yellow-breasted fruit dove (Ptilinopus occipitalis) locally known as balorinay is a species of bird in the family Columbidae.

While it is listed as least concern in IUCN, it is declining due to habitat loss, hunting, and trapping for the illegal wildlife trade.

[4] The species' generic name comes from the Ancient Greek ptilon (feather) and pous (foot), while the specific epithet occipitalis is from Latin, meaning "of the back of the head".

Its flight is fast and direct, with the regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings that are characteristic of pigeons in general.

The IUCN has classified the species as being of least concern but the population is believed to be declining due to deforestation from land conversion, Illegal logging and slash-and-burn farming.
