Barred Cuckoo-dove

The barred cuckoo-dove is a pigeon 37 to 41cm long and weighing 153 to 182g. It has a buff throat and forehead that becomes pinkish grey at the crown, a short black beak, red feet and blackish-brown upperparts with reddish-brown fringes. The tail is blackish brown and heavily barred reddish brown. It is similar to the little cuckoo-dove but much larger and darker, black-barred on the mantle, breast, coverts and tail (Wikipedia, general species account).

It inhabits dense subtropical woodland at altitudes from sea level up to 3,000m on montane slopes. The Lepcha people of Sikkim call it ka ar fo. The sources opened give no diet, range or breeding detail, so none are stated, and the entry is kept short.
