Yellow-footed Green-pigeon

Treron phoenicoptera

Description:

Yellowish body; typical pigeon-like body shape.

Habitat:

Tree in my residential colony. It spotted me and flew over my head to sit on a bare tree right opposite where it was earlier...all I did was cross the road to come to the other side to take a few shots.

Notes:

The interesting point is how it blends against the newly emerging leaves...it is easily spotted against the bare branches, though. Its colouration is perfect for its foraging habits (fruits)
