Hello. Please help me ID this bird in my photo taken from Mambukal . The bird keeps on transferring from one branch to another few feet above the ground. Thank you. Nikon D300s, Sigma 150-500mm @ 500, ISO 800, F8, 1/8 sec, handheld

Hello Sir Steve. I thought this is the Green-winged Brown Ground Dove. Thank you for the ID. Well, it probably is though I am not familiar with this particular version of the common name, however, there are tons of common names for this. Just about everybody uses simply Emerald Dove by now, some of the older common names being found only in old taxonomic lists, and old guide books. Here are some that I am pasting in from OBI: Common Emerald Dove, Emerald Ground Dove, Emerald Ground-Dove, Green-backed Dove, Green-winged Dove, Green-winged Pigeon, Green-winged Ground Dove, Green-winged Ground-Dove, Indian Emerald Dove, Indian Emerald-Dove, Indian Green-winged Dove, Grey-capped Emerald Dove, Brown-capped Emerald Dove, Little Green Pigeon, Ceylon Bronze-wing Pigeon, Pacific Emerald Dove (chrysochlora), Pacific Emerald-Dove (chrysochlora), Bronze-winged Dove, Green-winged Emerald Dove, Gray-capped Emerald Dove
