The White-faced Quail-Dove is a distinctive ground dove found in humid montane forests, notable for its contrasting white facial patch. It is often secretive, foraging on the forest floor.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the mountains of southern Mexico and northern Central America, including countries like Guatemala and Honduras.
How to spot
Search for it walking slowly and deliberately on the forest floor in dense vegetation. Its white face can flash as it moves, aiding identification. Listen for its low, booming call which carries well through the forest.
When to spot
Year-round resident, most active early morning and late afternoon, often heard more than seen due to its secretive habits.
