Ins white, orbits yellowish green, bill bluish slate,
Williamson and others have remarked that this little dove
is very rare in Siam proper. It is however common over
practically the whole of the Peninsula to its northern
extremity in suitable localities. We did not however observe
it on Langkawi and Terutau, though I have little doubt that
in occurs on the large open areas on the north of the former
island.
