Spotted Green Pigeon
Caloenas maculata (Gmelin, JF, 1789)
Columbidae — Pigeons, Doves
Spotted Green Pigeon, Caloenas maculata, is a pigeon of the Pacific Ocean, probably from an unknown South Pacific island. It is known from a single surviving specimen, and its exact native range has never been established. The bird is notable for the dark plumage with a green sheen, the pale spotting on the upperparts and wings, the black bill tipped with yellow, and the pale band at the end of the tail. Its long neck feathers, short legs and long wings also set it apart. It is regarded as extinct.
