Columbina squammata
The Scaled Dove has greyish-brown upper parts, pinkish-grey face and breast, white throat, and white distal wing coverts that form a conspicuous white patch on the bird's closed wings. The dove is gets its "scaled" appearance from the dark edges of the birds feathers.
At the Beach of the Caribbean Sea, near Chuspa, Miranda, Venezuela.
These little doves are mostly camouflaged and hard to spot when they are in the gras looking for seeds, but now I was lucky to see them on the branches together.
