Scientific Name Columbina cruziana
Location Chaparrí Lodge, Chaparrí Private Conservation Area, Lambayeque, Peru
Comments A very attractive little dove, which we saw quite often during our trip. They are common in western Peru, up to about 2800m on west slope of Andes. Birds of Peru by Schulenberg et al. describe it's call as "a very undovelike series of flatulent notes" which describes it admirably - sounds a lot like a frog (a farting frog ...)

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
