Reichenow's Dove is a localized dove of East Africa, often considered a subspecies or a dark morph of the African Collared Dove. It is characterized by its slightly darker plumage compared to typical African Collared Doves.
Where to spot
Found in dry scrubland, acacia savanna, and areas with scattered trees within its limited East African range, particularly in countries like Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya.
How to spot
Look for a generally darker grey plumage compared to the typical African Collared Dove, while still retaining the characteristic black half-collar. Its call is similar to other collared doves in the region.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during morning and late afternoon hours when it is most active.

Its taxonomic classification is still debated among ornithologists, with some considering it a distinct species due to its darker coloration and restricted range, while others view it as a geographical variation of the widespread African Collared Dove.
