Relatively common over much of Chile
We got to calling this the "Zombie Dove"
Because of the croaking sound they make, very un-dove-like!
From the far north of Chile, found in a "garden" in a small village
This is the northern subspecies, branicki. Note the rusy on the lower face and down the neck. This bird was seen near Arica in the far north of Chile. Quoting the Chile field guide by Jaramillo " Form branicki, historically reported from Lauca, may no longer occur." It was an unexpected find.
Found in the altiplano grasslands in far northern Chile
The amount of black on these birds varies with the area.
This is the female. The species is named for the male's coloring, largely black.
