About Pale-vented Pigeon (Patagioenas cayennensis)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Doves and Pigeons
  • Family: Pigeons and Doves

The pale-vented pigeon is a large pigeon found in the tropical Americas. Formerly often placed in Columba, it actually belongs to a clade of the older New World genus Patagioenas. With its relatives it represents an evolutionary radiation extending through most of the warm-temperate to tropical Americas. Grey-hued birds, even their males generally lack iridescent display plumage, although the present species has some coppery gloss on the nape.
