The Bridled Quail-Dove is a robust ground-dove indigenous to the Caribbean, distinguished by its prominent white supercilium, or 'bridle,' that extends from above its eye.
Where to spot
Found in humid forests and woodlands across the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, typically foraging in the understory.
How to spot
Look for it foraging silently on the forest floor, often in dense cover. Its striking facial pattern, particularly the white 'bridle' and dark eyestripe, is the best identification clue. Listen for its deep, mournful cooing call, often repeated.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active in early morning and late afternoon, when it is most likely to be seen or heard.

Its common name, 'Bridled Quail-Dove,' comes directly from the distinct white stripe above and behind its eye, which resembles the bridle on a horse.
