Spotted
The White-eared Brown Dove is a widespread and common species of fruit-dove endemic to the Philippines. It is characterized by its dull olive-brown plumage with a distinctive white patch below the eye.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Philippines, inhabiting primary and secondary forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas with scattered trees, from lowlands up to montane elevations.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic white patch below the eye as a key identification mark. It often perches quietly within the foliage, so careful scanning of tree branches is recommended. Listen for its soft, repetitive cooing calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging for fruits in the canopy or flying between trees. Observation is possible throughout the day, particularly when fruiting trees are abundant.

Despite its somewhat plain appearance, the White-eared Brown Dove plays an important ecological role as a seed disperser in its native Philippine forests.
