Spotted
A small, slender cuckoo-dove characterized by its reddish-brown head and long tail. It is a widespread resident of forests in Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found across Southeast Asia, including parts of the Himalayas, Indochina, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and Java. Inhabits evergreen and deciduous forests, often at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive long tail and reddish head. It can be shy, so patience and quiet movement are key when searching within dense forest undergrowth.
When to spot
Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when birds are most active foraging. Present year-round in its native range.
