Spotted
The Ochre-bellied Dove is a striking ground dove distinguished by its warm, rich ochre coloration on its belly and underparts. It inhabits humid forest understories in its restricted Andean range.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the western Andes of Colombia and Ecuador, typically in humid montane forests and dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive warm underparts as it forages quietly on the forest floor, often in dense cover. It is a shy species, so quiet patience is required. Listen for its low, mournful coo.
When to spot
Typically observed year-round within its range, more active during the early morning and late afternoon, when it may be seen foraging quietly.

Its scientific name, *ochraceiventris*, directly translates to 'ochre-bellied,' perfectly describing its most notable and distinctive plumage feature.
