Spotted
The Bare-faced Ground-Dove is a small dove of the high Andes, characterized by its distinctive bare, pinkish-red facial skin around the eye. Its plumage is generally grey-brown with some scaling.
Where to spot
Endemic to the high Andes of Peru, Bolivia, and northern Chile. Found in dry, arid high-altitude scrub, rocky slopes, and intermontane valleys.
How to spot
Look for its small size and the striking bare skin around its eyes, which is its most distinctive feature. It often forages on the ground in open, rocky areas, sometimes near human settlements at high altitudes.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its Andean habitat. Most active during daylight hours, particularly in the mornings.

The prominent bare facial skin gives this dove a unique 'spectacled' appearance, setting it apart visually from other ground doves in its range.
