The Campo Ground-Dove is a distinctively long-tailed ground-dove endemic to eastern Brazil. It has a relatively plain plumage, primarily grey-brown, with subtle wing markings and a long, graduated tail.
Where to spot
Endemic to a specific region of eastern Brazil, primarily in the Cerrado and Caatinga biomes. Inhabits open savannas, grasslands, and dry scrublands.
How to spot
Look for its distinctly long tail, which is a key identification feature compared to shorter-tailed ground doves. It typically forages on the ground in open, grassy areas. Its call is a soft, low cooing.
When to spot
Year-round resident within its Brazilian range. Most active during the day, foraging on the ground.
