The ashy-headed green pigeon is a pigeon of the genus Treron found from Nepal, north-east India and Bangladesh to south-west China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Many authorities split it from the pompadour green pigeon complex. It usually occurs singly or in small groups (Wikipedia, general species account).

Its flight is fast and direct, with the regular wing beats and occasional sharp flick of the wings characteristic of pigeons. It eats the seeds and fruits of a wide variety of plants, builds a stick nest in a tree and lays two white eggs. The source opened gives no size, plumage description or altitude range, so none are stated.
