The Red Collared Dove is a small, strikingly colored dove widespread across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Males are particularly notable for their rosy-red plumage and a black neck collar.
Where to spot
Common in open woodlands, scrubland, cultivated fields, and gardens, often seen near human habitation throughout its extensive native range in Asia.
How to spot
Identify males by their rosy-red head and underparts with a prominent black half-collar. Females are duller brownish-grey. Listen for its characteristic two-note 'coo-coo' call.
When to spot
A year-round resident, though some populations may undertake local seasonal movements. Most active during the day, especially during foraging.

Males are significantly more colorful, displaying a vibrant reddish-pink on their head and underparts, making them distinctly different from the paler, brownish-grey females, illustrating strong sexual dimorphism.
