How to spot
Identify it by its dark upperparts, grey head, and clean white underparts, creating a striking three-toned appearance. Its calls are typically deep and resonant. Look for it in the mid to upper canopy of montane forests.

Despite its relatively restricted range on a few Indonesian islands, this pigeon exhibits geographical variation, leading to the recognition of several subspecies across different islands, each with subtle distinctions.
