Hi Steve, The eye color, narrower and more distinct collar, smaller size and shorter tail indicate to me that these guys (from Candaba yesterday) are Streptopelia tranquebarica humilis. Would appreciate your confirmation on the ID.... And here's a Streptopelia bitorquata dusumieri for reference: Thanks, Romy

Romy, Yes, confirmed (first photo) - Streptopelia tranquebarica humilis - a pair (adult male on the left). Actually the separation is not that tough - the tranquebarica is much smaller (20.5 - 23.0 cm.) against the bitorquata (30 - 33.0 cm.). The legs of bitorquata tend to reddish, that of the tranquebarica to greyish; the half-collar of tranquebarica is black, thinner, and with noticeable white borders both above and below (the collar of the Phil ranging race bitorquata dusumieri is not black - it is grey, broader, and lacks distinct white borders) and the mantle and wing coverts are more red-rufous in tranquebarica respect to a duller brown in bitorquata. Also the rump and back of tranquebarica are decidedly grey (or grey-bluish), while that of bitorquata is simply brownish.

Thanks for the confirmation and the info, Steve. That makes this my most detailed pic of the tranquebarica to date. Romy

we just called it de collar. hey just seen a pink neck green dove in the low lands, in nueva ecija, just this december 26, 2007. and come to think of it its in trees near the rice paddies. eating small berries. i thought it was just an emerald dove, but it is much bigger and has a yellow trimming into its wings! home come they are in the flat? i thought their in habitat is in the forest? because its a fruit dove right? just saw one in the mountains of norzagaray, umiray quezon, and in bataan.

Here's a tip: Whenever you want to embed a photo click on the Image button that looks like this: This will result in some "placemarkers" for an image that looks like this: Now, between those sets of img's (between the adjacent brackets), type or paste your image's link. Your link would almost always start with the phrase http: and end with the file extension .jpgFor example, the image you were trying to embed earlier should have the embedding script look like this: Hope this helps! oh no!!! idol Romy, this is so embarrassing. still can't post it.

Hello Sir Raul,
I believe it's a female red turtle dove. The neck collar of your bird is narrow and feet are dark and not reddish.
