Description
This male ruddy ground dove was photographed in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, Central America.
The Ruddy Ground-Dove is a small dove, barely larger than a sparrow (total length 16.5-18 cm; mass 40- 56.5 g). Males are distinguished from sympatric species of ground-doves by the bright ruddy plumage. Females are paler, tending more towards brown than ruddy tones, and are distinguished from females of similar species by the black spots on the wings, monochromatic undertail coverts, and lack of scaling. Juveniles are similar to females but with scaling. The song is a low-pitched, hollow-sounding, bisyllabic coo. They prefer wet and open habitats for finding seeds on the ground. Often seen foraging with other individuals of the same species. (www.neotropical.birds.cornell.edu)
