Azores wood pigeon
The Azores wood pigeon, ''Columba palumbus azorica'' ((ポルトガル語:pombo-torcaz-dos-açores)) is an endemic subspecies of the common wood pigeon (''Columba palumbus''), located in the Atlantic Azores islands of Portugal. This endemic subspecies is the only live pigeon present in the Laurel forest habitat of the Azores Islands.
==Description==
The Azores wood pigeon closely resembles the mainland wood pigeon subspecies of Africa, ''Columba palumbus excelsa''. Its plumage is somewhat darker and conspicuous, with slightly brighter colour than the European subspecies (''Columba palumbus palumbus''), especially on the upper parts and the underwing coverts. The bill is orange to yellow and the coloring is paler at the tip, and the eyes are pale yellow. It has white neck markings and iridescent green and purple patches on the neck and breast. The neck feathers stiffen to form white spots on the sides of the neck, with more extension than the European common wood pigeon, but similar to Columba palumbus casiotis. The Azores wood pigeon also has white in the wings and a more extensive green iridescence on the nape. The common wood pigeon may be distinguished from other pigeons by its larger size.
