Spotted
The Spot-winged Pigeon is a common and widespread species across southern South America, known for the white spotting on its wings, which is a key identification feature. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open habitats.
Where to spot
Found in a wide range across southern South America, including Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and southern Brazil, in open woodlands, savannas, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground in open areas or perched in trees. Identify by its grey-brown plumage with distinctive white spots or streaks on its wing coverts, particularly visible when the wings are folded. Its cooing call is a series of deep, guttural notes.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Highly active during the day, especially when feeding in open areas.
