Description

Classification: Genus Patagioenas (Patagioenas); Family Pigeons (Columbidae)
General: The ruddy pigeon (Patagioenas subvinacea) is a largish pigeon which breeds from Costa Rica south to western Ecuador, Bolivia, and central Brazil. It belongs to a clade of small and rather plain species of Patagioenas with characteristic calls^[2] that constitute the subgenus Oenoenas.^[3] Like the other New World pigeons, it was formerly united with their Old World relatives in Columba, but today the New World genus Patagioenas is recognized as distinct again.^[2] [more]
