09 January 2007 - Asa Wright Nature Center, Trinidad http://www.asawright.org/ This small dove was common on both islands, but I found they were difficult to photograph because they kept moving, bobbing their heads as they walked rapidly on the ground. Females are similar to males but browner, less reddish. This is the subspecies C. t. rufipennis which ranges widely from Mexico to northern South America and which occurs marginally in the southern United States. It has less black and more cinnamon on its underwings cf. C. t. talpacoti which ranges further south in the South American tropics.
