Spotted
The Plain-breasted Ground-Dove is a small, unobtrusive dove distinguished by its plain, unscaled breast and uniform reddish-brown plumage. It is often found singly or in small groups on bare ground.
Where to spot
Primarily found in Central and South America, ranging from Mexico south to Brazil and Argentina. Inhabits open grassy areas, agricultural fields, savannas, and shrublands.
How to spot
Scan open, dry ground, especially near cultivated fields or roadsides. Their reddish plumage can blend in well, so look for movement as they forage. Patience is key for this often-shy species.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly in the mornings and late afternoons. It is a non-migratory resident within its range.

Its flight often involves a rapid, whirring wingbeat, characteristic of many ground-doves, allowing for quick and agile escapes from potential threats.
