Red-knobbed Imperial-Pigeon

Ducula rubricera

A large pigeon with a mostly gray chest and head, a cinnamon underside, and green wings. Large red knob above the bill is distinctive. Common in most habitats, but prefers primary forest. Juvenile resembles Finsch’s Imperial-Pigeon, but has a paler ruddy underside and lacks that species’ bold white eye-ring and white tail band. Voice is primarily a rising then falling “whooOOOoo.”
