The Hill Pigeon is a medium-sized pigeon closely related to the Rock Dove, primarily inhabiting mountainous and rocky regions. It is well-adapted to high-altitude environments.
Where to spot
Found across Central Asia, including parts of the Himalayas, Tibet, and northern China, typically in high-altitude rocky landscapes, cliffs, and montane steppes.
How to spot
Look for grey pigeons with a white patch on the hindneck and a pale tail band. Observe them near rocky outcrops, often in small groups, or foraging in high-altitude open areas.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight hours. They may descend to lower elevations for food or water, especially during harsh winter conditions.

Despite its close resemblance to the Rock Dove, the Hill Pigeon can be distinguished by a distinct white band across its tail, which is particularly visible in flight.
